Get started today." --- **TL;DR** Use Power Automate with Nutrient Document Converter to automatically convert a file from OneDrive (or Google Drive or Dropbox) to PDF and save it to SharePoint — no code required. Nutrient Document Converter (formerly Muhimbi PDF Converter) supports the conversion of the latest HTML, JavaScript, print, and screen CSS media types to PDF. In addition, it can convert SharePoint Online webpages and URLs — a capability not every PDF converter offers. This is particularly useful when it comes to archiving lists and list items in PDF format or sharing the content of SharePoint pages and wikis with third parties. Using Power Automate, you can also convert files created using one provider — such as OneDrive for Business, Google Drive, or Dropbox — to PDF and store the converted file using a different provider — such as MS SharePoint. This blog post will show you how. ## Prerequisites Before beginning, ensure the following prerequisites are in place: - An Office 365 subscription with Power Automate and OneDrive for Business support. - Nutrient [Document Converter for Power Automate](https://www.nutrient.io/low-code/try/?product=document-converter&platform=power-automate) — full, free, or trial subscription. - Appropriate privileges to create flows. - Appropriate privileges in MS SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business. - Working knowledge of Microsoft Power Automate. ## Converting a file created in OneDrive to PDF and adding it to SharePoint This example takes you through converting a file created in OneDrive for Business to PDF and then adding this converted file to MS SharePoint. On a high level, the flow will look like what’s shown in the image below.![The completed Power Automate flow: OneDrive trigger, Nutrient Convert document action, and SharePoint Create file action](@/assets/muhimbi/img/blog/convert-one-drive-files-to-pdf-in-sharepoint/nextImageExportOptimizer/generate-pdf-1-opt-640.WEBP) ### Step 1 Create a new flow and use the **When a file is created** OneDrive for Business trigger. For the **Folder** field, select the OneDrive folder where you want the converted file to be uploaded.![Power Automate “When a file is created” OneDrive for Business trigger with the Folder field selected](@/assets/muhimbi/img/blog/convert-one-drive-files-to-pdf-in-sharepoint/nextImageExportOptimizer/generate-pdf-2-opt-640.WEBP) ### Step 2 Insert the Nutrient **Convert document** action. - In the **Source file name** field, add the **File name** that is the output of the **When a file is created** action. - In the **Source file content** field, add the **File content** that is the output of the **When a file is created** action. - In the **Output format** field, enter **PDF**.![Nutrient Convert document action configured with Source file name, Source file content, and Output format set to PDF](@/assets/muhimbi/img/blog/convert-one-drive-files-to-pdf-in-sharepoint/nextImageExportOptimizer/generate-pdf-3-opt-640.WEBP) ### Step 3 Insert an MS SharePoint **Create file** action to write the converted file to an MS SharePoint Online location. You can also use providers like Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive, or send the PDF via email. This example uses the MS SharePoint provider. - In the **Site Address** field, select the location of the MS SharePoint site where you want to store the converted PDF document. - In the **Folder Path** field, select the folder where you want the converted PDF file to be saved. - In the **File Name** field, add the **Base file name** that is the output of the Nutrient **Convert document** action. Don’t forget to add the `.pdf` extension to the file name. - In the **File Content** field, add the **Processed file content** that is the output of the Nutrient **Convert document** action.![SharePoint “Create file” action configured with Site Address, Folder Path, File Name, and File Content](@/assets/muhimbi/img/blog/convert-one-drive-files-to-pdf-in-sharepoint/nextImageExportOptimizer/generate-pdf-4-opt-640.WEBP) ### Step 4 Publish the workflow and upload a new item, such as an MS Word document, to the OneDrive location.![Uploading a Word document to the OneDrive for Business folder that triggers the flow](@/assets/muhimbi/img/blog/convert-one-drive-files-to-pdf-in-sharepoint/nextImageExportOptimizer/generate-pdf-5-opt-640.WEBP) After a few seconds, the flow will be triggered and a PDF file will be generated and uploaded to the MS SharePoint location.![The generated PDF file uploaded to the SharePoint document library](@/assets/muhimbi/img/blog/convert-one-drive-files-to-pdf-in-sharepoint/nextImageExportOptimizer/generate-pdf-6-opt-640.WEBP) ## Conclusion In this post, you learned how to convert a OneDrive for Business file to PDF and store it in SharePoint.

Use Power Automate with the Nutrient Document Converter connector. Set up a flow triggered by the **When a file is created** OneDrive event, add the Nutrient **Convert document** action with the output format set to PDF, and use a SharePoint **Create file** action to store the result. The conversion runs automatically whenever a new file is added to your OneDrive folder. #### Can Power Automate convert Word documents to PDF? Yes. The Nutrient Document Converter action in Power Automate supports Word (`.docx`), Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office formats, in addition to HTML. Set the **Output format** field to PDF and pass the file content from OneDrive or SharePoint as the source. #### How do I save a converted PDF to SharePoint from Power Automate? After the Nutrient **Convert document** action runs, add a SharePoint **Create file** action. Use the **Base file name** from the Convert document output (add a `.pdf` extension) as the file name, and use the **Processed file content** as the file content. Set the **Site Address** and **Folder Path** to your target SharePoint location. #### Does the Nutrient Document Converter work with Google Drive and Dropbox? Yes. Power Automate supports multiple file providers. You can use a Google Drive or Dropbox trigger instead of OneDrive, pass the file content to the Nutrient **Convert document** action, and store the PDF in SharePoint, OneDrive, or any other supported provider. --- ## Related pages - [The business case for accessibility: Five ways it drives enterprise value](/blog/5-ways-accessibility-drives-enterprise-value.md) - [Accessibility Untangled Why It Matters Guide](/blog/accessibility-untangled-why-it-matters-guide.md) - [Advanced Techniques For React Native Ui Components](/blog/advanced-techniques-for-react-native-ui-components.md) - [`vector_store` holds your indexed documents (see the multimodal RAG post](/blog/agentic-rag.md) - [How to build an AI agent for contract redlining against a compliance playbook](/blog/ai-contract-redlining-compliance-playbook.md) - [Ai Document Automation Extraction To Action](/blog/ai-document-automation-extraction-to-action.md) - [Ai Legal Assistant Document Authoring](/blog/ai-legal-assistant-document-authoring.md) - [Amazon Textract Alternatives](/blog/amazon-textract-alternatives.md) - [Start (clears any prior buffer), navigate the document, then stop into a file.](/blog/android-faster-pdf-rendering.md) - [Android Pdf Out Of Memory Handling](/blog/android-pdf-out-of-memory-handling.md) - [Angular File Viewer Pdf Image Office Files](/blog/angular-file-viewer-pdf-image-office-files.md) - [Approval Workflow Software](/blog/approval-workflow-software.md) - [Approvals Matrix](/blog/approvals-matrix.md) - [Auto Tagging And Document Accessibility In Dotnet Sdk](/blog/auto-tagging-and-document-accessibility-in-dotnet-sdk.md) - [Simple PII redaction.](/blog/automated-pii-removal.md) - [Best Ai Document Workflow Platforms](/blog/best-ai-document-workflow-platforms.md) - [Best Document Ai Platforms](/blog/best-document-ai-platforms.md) - [Best Document Classification Platforms](/blog/best-document-classification-platforms.md) - [Best document parser for RAG: LlamaParse vs. Unstructured vs. Reducto vs. Nutrient](/blog/best-document-parser-llamaparse-unstructured-reducto.md) - [Best Document Parsing Apis](/blog/best-document-parsing-apis.md) - [Best Document Viewers](/blog/best-document-viewers.md) - [Best Multilingual Ocr Software](/blog/best-multilingual-ocr-software.md) - [Best Secure Document Collaboration Platforms](/blog/best-secure-document-collaboration-platforms.md) - [Bpm Guide](/blog/bpm-guide.md) - [Bpm Tools](/blog/bpm-tools.md) - [Build Vs Buy Document Extraction](/blog/build-vs-buy-document-extraction.md) - [Business Automation](/blog/business-automation.md) - [Capex Vs Opex](/blog/capex-vs-opex.md) - [The CEO’s AI playbook: Why decision architecture beats model selection](/blog/ceo-ai-playbook-decision-architecture.md) - [1.
