nitishjain — Thu, 20 Mar 2025 08:03:02 GMT

I'm trying to create a pdf file.

with python, there's an issue of library, so can't use it.

with HTML template, I'm trying to upload file to Workato storage but there its showing file type as text file.

file showing as corrupted.

Thanks in advance

You can try workflow apps instead of HTML template to upload a file and connect it with a data table. Make sure to mark the column type as "File". Hope this helps you and coming to python code, do you still stuck with it?

Thanks Everyone.

able to create a pdf using google docs, and google drive connector.

Solution:

create a doc template in googl edrive.

now use create using template operation.

renamed the file in google drive using google drive connector.

exported the file to pdf format using google docs custom connector.

re-uploaded the file to google drive at different folder location.

deleting the original docs file so as to delete the duplicates using custom connector.

Thanks Nitish

But google drive takes a lot of time to load the newly created files, I faced a problem while using Google drive which is it is not loading the new files instead it is showing only old files.

Hi @nitishjain ,If the API is available, you can use an HTTP action to create the file and upload it to file storage.
