8Hi everyone,
I am facing two specific issues when using the OneDrive for Business "Convert file" action in Power Automate (Online) to transform HTML content into PDF.
1. Loss of Heading Hierarchy (Table of Contents)
My source HTML uses standard
My source HTML uses standard
<h1> tags. However, after the conversion to PDF, these elements lose their "Heading" property. When viewing the generated PDF in the SharePoint/OneDrive PDF viewer, the document structure (Table of Contents/Navigation pane) is empty. It seems the converter flattens the style instead of preserving the semantic HTML tags as PDF bookmarks.2. Internal Links (Anchors) Not Working
I am using internal redirects within the HTML to navigate between sections. Even though I have tried using both
I am using internal redirects within the HTML to navigate between sections. Even though I have tried using both
name and id attributes, the links do not work in the final PDF.- Link:
<a href="#heading1">Go to Section</a> - Target:
<h1 id="heading1">Section Title</h1>(also tried<h1 name="heading1">)
After conversion, the link is either non-clickable or does not point to the correct anchor within the document.
Questions:
- Is there a specific CSS or meta tag required for the OneDrive converter to recognize PDF bookmarks?
- Is there a known workaround for internal anchors (bookmarks) using this specific connector?
- If this is a limitation of the native "Convert file" action, do you recommend any specific alternative (without using paid 3rd party connectors)?
Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated!
