In this demo I show how to create a PDF file using Power Automate. This uses the File Convert function and OneDrive to generate a PDF file using a List item as the input. This is great for creating a printable file or receipt to send to someone based on the list content. There are many things you could do this this! Learn how in less than 5 minutes.

Thanks Steve, I am using this method to create PDF file where chinese character in the html content. The output pdf could not show the chinese character correctly. Those characters became a block. Do you have any ideas on this? I guess it doesn't support UTF-8. Is it true. Thanks
Thank you so much for this, it’s exactly the answer I was looking for. However I’m having an issue with dynamic content that contains more than one response.
I’m using this to create a pdf document based on an entry in a SharePoint list. The responses are for an incident report that it is completed through a Power Apps form.
Some of the responses allow for multiple answers. I have a text field for a list of witnesses, separated by commas, as well as a list of injury types and locations where the staff member can select all that apply to them.
How can I get the items in these fields separated into bullet points?
I can bullet the line, but not separate the contents to provide multiple bullets.
Also, for the fields where more than one option can be selected, I’m not getting the responses at all, more of an error code.
[{“@odata.type”:”#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference”,”Id”:10,”Value”:”Sprain/strain”},{“@odata.type”:”#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference”,”Id”:13,”Value”:”Other”},{“@odata.type”:”#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference”,”Id”:-1,”Value”:”possiblybroken- awaiting xray”}]
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I’m incredibly new to this and it’s my first journey into the world of HTML code.
Thanks Steve you for this video.

Hi Steve, thanks for this video. Is there any way to convert an Excel file located in a Sharepoint to a PDF file, without using your One Drive account and without using any third party Flows? Thanks
Hey Steve, Great video
By any chance do you know if it is possible to add a professional header (or images) to this process?
I'd love to generate some official company documents for which that would be necessary
Thanks a lot
Hi Steve,
Thanks for the video. I had a colleague ask for something similar recently. I’ll be happy to tell him we can now accommodate him. Cheers!
