Problem with PDF files

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I use a Flow that takes attachments (usually) PDF's, from my emails sent from our scanner, and sends the attachment to a SharePoint folder. It was working fine last week.

Now, when I try to view the pdf in the SP folder, I get this error:

'File does not begin with '%PDF-'

Local\EWH-7048-0

Any ideas? Thanks!

When I download the PDF from SharePoint and try to open it, I get a message that says the file was not converted properly. It seems the PDF is getting corrupted while going through my flow. I also get a copy of the emailed PDF in my inbox, and that works fine.

I fixed it. I deleted the attachment portion of the flow, and re-entered it. Now the PDF files open on Sharepoint.
