Convert HTML to PDF fails on last step

[Anonymous]

I've set up a Flow for creating an HTML file in OneDrive and converting it to a PDF, based on a video by John Liu. It works fine until the final step, where the conversion to PDF happens. Below is the Flow:

Here is the error that the Flow generates on failure:

The HTML file is being created just fine. So I'm not sure what is happening with the PDF conversion.

Only word files are supported i believe - take a look at Encodian.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please have a look at this post which is probably similar to John Liu's but may provide a bit more insight and snippets.

I guess the part that is confusing me is that my Flow is working through the step where the HTML file is created. I know the HTML file exists in OneDrive, But then it fails at the step where the HTML file is to be converted to PDF.

The specific error information is as follows:

Body

{

  "status": 400,

  "message": "Conversion of this file to PDF is not supported.",

As I said above the action you are using supports converting word files and not HTML files. Use encodian to convert HTML

Hi there!

For all those who are still interested in the question - there is a great solution for you - Plumsail Documents. You can simplify and automate the process of HTML to PDF conversion.

Here's what I think might also come in handy for you:

• Use custom fonts and add multi-lingual support to HTML -> PDF conversion
• Create HTML document from template 

Note: the solution is paid, with a one-month free trial.
