PDF content corrupted in Flow process

[rlburg]

Trying to use Flow to copy a PDF from an FTP site when a new version is posted to a SharePoint Online document library. I'm using the FTP "When a file is added or modified" and the SharePoint "Create File" actions. The flow does run, but the PDF that ends up in SP is missing most of the actual content from the pages (a lot of pages in the PDF are blank).

Any suggestions?

Hi rlburg - 

Could you please share the url that points to your flow and we can take a look.

You can get to it by clicking on the flow, and taking the URL from the address bar. 

The URL should look like : 

https://flow.microsoft.com/manage/flows/93cbd448-db01-4a3b-a3cf-abfe6062f67b

If a specific PDF file was not copied properly - providing the run details for that specfic run will help us to look at the issue.

The URL for run details should look like this - https://flow.microsoft.com/manage/flows/93cbd448-db01-4a3b-a3cf-abfe6062f67b/runs/085873912064258239...

You can't get to it by clicking on the i - icon and then clicking on a run instance.

Thanks for the assistance.

The link to the actual flow is https://flow.microsoft.com/manage/flows/f0002614-7795-4eaa-8131-b51cbc792364/

I tested this morning again and the "successful" run that did not copy the file properly is https://flow.microsoft.com/manage/flows/f0002614-7795-4eaa-8131-b51cbc792364/runs/085873906674874801...

I have the same problem, scanned to FTP location worked fine, PDF from document folder downloaded and rendered per the original document.  Used the flow to monitor FTP folder and copy the file to a OneDrive folder and also to a Sharepoint document library which ran successfully but document corrupted:

Flow: https://emea.flow.microsoft.com/manage/environments/Default-ed4fc3fc-2f96-48c5-a1ef-1c3ed19b77d0/flo...

Run1: https://emea.flow.microsoft.com/manage/environments/Default-ed4fc3fc-2f96-48c5-a1ef-1c3ed19b77d0/flo...

Run2: https://emea.flow.microsoft.com/manage/environments/Default-ed4fc3fc-2f96-48c5-a1ef-1c3ed19b77d0/flo...

Actually was a very simple solution: when you create the FTP connection in Flow, you need to enable BinaryTransport by ticking the checkbox otherwise it brings across garbage.  Should have looked hard but at least other people can hopefully use this solution.
