I have a flow that converts a Word doc to a PDF, at one time. I get an error (Bad Gateway). See image below. I already deleted this action and the 'Create file' action that follows upon this one and set it up again. Didn't help.
Because I have more similar flows, I've tried another flow with exactly the same actions, that one runs fine. I've compared the steps from the flow that works fine with the error-steps - very precisely... Exactly the same.
I made a new Word document. Then I also had to replace the actions in my flow (populate a Word document, create file (Word), convert a Word document to PDF, create file (PDF)). Deleted the old actions and everything works great now ?

We're embarking on a journey to enhance your experience by transitioning to a new community platform. Our team has been diligently working to create a fresh community site, leveraging the very Dynamics 365 and Power Platform tools our community advocates for. We started this journey with transitioning Copilot Studio forums and blogs in June. The move marks the beginning of a new chapter, and we're eager for you to be a part of it. The rest of the Power Platform product sites will be moving over this summer. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the launch. We can't wait to welcome you to our new community space, designed with you in mind. Let's connect, learn, and grow together. Here's to new beginnings and endless possibilities!

I've created a form where responses populate a word doc template and create a file in SharePoint. This all works fine. The next step should convert the document to a pdf, but I get an error that says --The selected file doesn't exist, please select a valid file and drive. clientRequestId: 0b8924ab-4efe-47c3-991e-a8672fc6386e-- at the 'Convert Word Document to PDF step', However, it does exist. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Below are some pictures of my flow up to that step. Note: in the 'Convert to PDF' step, I've tried, from the 'Create File' step: ID, Name, and DisplayName.
I finally have this working, however I could not get it to work using the 'Convert Word Doc to PDF' premium- Word Online (Business), which I do have an account for. I had to use the OneDrive for Business - Convert file (Preview) in order to get it working. Below is a screen shot of my flow. More steps, but it works.
I realize this was a long time ago, but I faced similar issues and really needed to avoid One Drive. My process worked, finally, and here was the solve: In the Convert Word step, in File it should be / then the Name output from the create file in sharepoint step (it wants a path to the file relative to the document library root). I also needed to be sure the filename when I then saved the converted document back to SharePoint wasn't just the Name output, because I just get a word doc because that is the filename when I created the first Word doc. So I needed to ensure the filename is just recreated and instead of .docx on the end of it, place .pdf. Works great. Thanks, Kev
How did you attach the converted pdf file to email? I am more specifically asking the step before "Add request to sharepoint list". I could not see which pdf file to choose to attach to the email. Did you use the path of folder or the location? I would appreciate if you could share it. Thanks!
Mine is a little different from @Mike44's, because I am storing the PDF files.
First, I populate the template and create the word file in sharepoint. Then I convert it to PDF, save it, attach that to the email, and delete the Word file.
You're not missing anything - the "Convert file" OneDrive (preview) action just bit the big one a month or two ago and now this Convert to Word Document is the only option unless you want to pay Adobe $25,000 a year OR are okay with setting up new Adobe API user accounts every 500 PDFs lol
