In this guide, you’ll learn how to convert MS Visio files to PDF using a Power Automate flow and Muhimbi PDF Converter. This example shows how to convert an MS Visio file to PDF, but you can switch the input file to another file type. You can see the file formats we support here.
Steps to convert your Visio file to PDF using Power Automate:
- Create a flow in Power Automate
- Define your action

- Publish your workflow
This example uses Power Automate to convert an MS Visio file to PDF in SharePoint. However, you can save your file to Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, or any platform supported by Power Automate. You can also extend our example by adding additional automation, such as sending the converted PDF as an email.
