Generating a pdf from a word binary - Power Platform

Overview: Move a word document into a pdf stream in a Power Automate flow.

Solution: I am triggering a flow when a word document is created in Dataverse.  I get the word document in a stream and use OneDrive for Business (OD4B) to persist the docx to OneDrive.  I use the Power Automate Word for Business connector to convert the docx in OD4B into a pdf binary stream in my flow.  


Tip: The Location (OneDrive site collection) gets converted to a guid, so if you need a separate site collection for OneDrive or SharePoint, you can use the MS Graph and I believe this URL also works:
