You might want to convert email attachments to PDF because you want to print the document, or you simply want to store the attachment in a more portable format.

I’m guessing you have had a document in a certain file format on your computer and wanted to read it later on your phone or tablet. The only problem is that when that later time came the app won’t let you open it so you have to download it, convert it to a “phone-friendly” file format and then be able to read it. That’s not a hard thing to do, but it is annoying. If you want to avoid this kind of problem in the future, then you need to know how to convert documents on your computer. Better yet, how to automate it.

It is really simple to create a Power Automate flow to convert email attachments with our Encodian connector, but what about if you want to then attach that PDF to a new email? Well, it might be easier than you think…

So, following several related questions posed via our chat service and the Power Automate community forums, we’ve created this short video guide providing a step-by-step guide for doing just that!
