Woww. Thank you much for putting this together! I was lamenting the fact that my company does not have a Power Automate premium license, and this is a key part of automation that I was hoping to achieve. I went home yesterday feeling defeated and so very sad. Today, I came into the office thinking, surely there is a workaround, and here you've found one. Thank you thank you. You've saved the of this place. Brilliant.

Excellent demo, thank you! Very simple way to get around the irritation of basic functionality being put behind the Premium pay-wall.

Thanks so much - one of the most helpful videos I’ve ever watched. I don’t have access to premium features, so was about to give up! The fix is a bit long-winded but simple.

Thank you very much for this video :) I was glad this was not a marketing video for a plugin etc. Plain and simple process, clearly explained. Amazing !!

Great video! Thank you for sharing! I actually had someone approach me with something that this would be the perfect solution for! The only additional step I have is a connection to power apps in automate, which shouldn’t be an issue at all

thank you for this. I successfully convert the file to Word and then added a Convert to PDF function and it works, However, the images from my word file was not included in the PDF file (eg. Border image and logos)
