I have HTTP connector which is giving output as -

{"statusCode":200,"headers":{"dataserviceversion":"2.0","sap-metadata-last-modified":"Fri, 09 Aug 2019 10:41:57 GMT","Cache-Control":"no-store, no-cache","Date":"Fri, 09 Aug 2019 11:26:58 GMT","Content-Type":"application/atom+xml; type=feed; charset=utf-8","Content-Length":"1365811"},"body":{"$content-type":"application/atom+xml; type=feed; charset=utf-8","$content":"PGZlZWQgeG1sbn"

$content is having binary data which is nothing but pdf file.

note - content-type is  application/atom+xml

I want to get this data and convert it into pdf file

into sharepoint connector while create pdf file i send body('HTTP')?['content'] still unable to create a valid pdf file.

while opening file it throws error -

in sharepoint create file connector i'm passing that binary string like - base64ToBinary(thatBinaryValue) but in sharepoint type is

 "$content-type": "application/octet-stream",

I believe binary data is converted into base64 when processed by logic apps. So, in the sharepoint action, you would have to use the base64ToBinary() function to get it to work.

I tried using base64ToBinary also but able to generate pdf file but while open same error getting...

body('HTTP') output is -

{"statusCode":200,"headers":{"dataserviceversion":"2.0","sap-metadata-last-modified":"Fri, 09 Aug 2019 10:41:57 GMT","Cache-Control":"no-store, no-cache","Date":"Fri, 09 Aug 2019 11:26:58 GMT","Content-Type":"application/atom+xml; type=feed; charset=utf-8","Content-Length":"1365811"},"body":{"$content-type":"application/atom+xml; type=feed; charset=utf-8","$content":"PGZlZWQgeG1sbn

I believe the expression you would need to use is base64ToBinary(body('HTTP')['$content']), since the output from the HTTP action is handled differently since its not a known type.
