Convert SharePoint Documents to PDF using Microsoft Flow

  • Article

Hello,

We all come to the requirements of converting documentes uploaded into SharePoint to PDF files without downloading them based on various business reasons. There are many 3rd party apps available to achieve this. However, we can do this simply by using Microsoft Flow.

Here are the steps:

1. Create a flow with the SharePoint trigger where an item is created or modified.

2. The next step is to get the SharePoint action to get File content. Take the contents from the file you created in the previous step.

3. The next step is to create a file in your One Drive for business. Use the file contents from the step above.

4. The next action is to convert the file using the OneDrive for business action.

5. The final step is to create the file in SharePoint using the converted file above.

The end to end process along with an example is shown in the video below.

I hope this will help you out. 

Thanks,

Rahul
