Populating a Microsoft Word Template and converting it to PDF in the same Logic App

Question

Hello :)

I have a Logic App that does the following when a new item is made in a specific SharePoint list:

• Populate a Microsoft Word Template (located in a SP Library)
• Create a file in a specified SP Library using the content generated from the previous step
• Delay for 10 seconds
• Convert Word Document to PDF - the file isn't selectable at this point because it technically hasn't been made yet so I point it to where the previously created file is going to be and use the same name, put .PDF at the end of it as well
• I then try to make a new file in a SP library using the converted file in the previous step as the content - file extension as .PDF

The outcome is one word document that has been generated based on a template and an attempt at converting that same document into a PDF. It's actually just an empty file that shows as an extensionless file in the library. I would like this to be a PDF that when opened, it shows the same content as the Word file that was generated from the template.

How is the best way to achieve this? Because I am hitting my head against a wall at this :(

If you need more information, I am happy to provide it :)

Thank you!

@Jojos_IQ Thanks for reaching out. Have you troubleshot your workflow to find out whether your word file was created successfully? If your word file was created successfully then you can use the Convert Word Document to PDF to convert the word to document and the output will be PDF binary content. Now you can leverage the Create File action to create the file in your SharePoint location.
