PowerAutomate-not able to update properties on PDF file using HTTP request action

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 60
I need to update some file properties using http request action. It works partially because I have some issues when flow needs to update PDFs…

If there is any office document-doc,xls it works fine but on PDF I receive error:
 
clientRequestId: fc3e2a1e-553a-4a4d-8e40-c64b8d915dce
serviceRequestId: 60c5dda1-4042-9000-9ac7-5e9dbca9a85f
 
Status CODE:404

If there is no possiblity to use common action for both type of files I can add some condition but so far I did not find any option to update whenever there is PDF.
 
In the flow previously I created some logic which checks the file because there is different url construction with pdf and docs so I have separate branch to get guid, library name etc – similar exception probably needs to be adjusted here for this step.

    The action you’re using should be able to update all files, regardless of whether they are XLSX or PDF.

     

    Check the SharePoint content types and verify whether the first property in the JSON is available for XLSX files as well.

     

    to debug for xlsx file remove the first property and see if it updates or not
