![]() Why are we doing this?Ītom has not had significant feature development for the past several years, though we’ve conducted maintenance and security updates during this period to ensure we’re being good stewards of the project and product. On June 8, 2022, we announced that we will sunset Atom and archive all projects under the organization on December 15, 2022. While that goal of growing the software creator community remains, we’ve decided to retire Atom in order to further our commitment to bringing fast and reliable software development to the cloud via Microsoft Visual Studio Code and GitHub Codespaces. When we introduced Atom in 2011, we set out to give developers a text editor that was deeply customizable but also easy to use-one that made it possible for more people to build software. NovemUpdate: We’ve since updated our blog post to include additional information about what you can expect after the sunset of Atom on December 15, 2022. Read more on our blog, including next steps for impacted Desktop users. To keep using Atom, users will need to download a previous Atom version. These versions of Atom will stop working on February 2. Revoking these certificates will invalidate some versions of Atom. As a preventative measure, we will revoke the exposed certificates used for the Atom application. After a thorough investigation, we have concluded there was no risk to services as a result of this unauthorized access.Ī set of encrypted code signing certificates were exfiltrated however, the certificates were password-protected and we have no evidence of malicious use. On December 7, 2022, GitHub detected unauthorized access to a set of repositories used in the planning and development of Atom. I’ve wrote a separate post on how to overwrite files using the create file action, but basically the answer was to turn off chunking within the actions settings.JanuUpdate: Update to the previous version of Atom before February 2 Overwriting existing PDF files causes flow to failĭuring testing of this flow I also noticed that when triggering the flow based off updating a site page, the create file create file action would error with a status 400 error saying “ A file with the name already exists”. I decided to scrap this approach and create a HTML page and add in the convert file action which worked around this issue. ![]() ![]() The flow also failed on this step and the error said that “Conversion of this file to PDF is not supported. In the file name I added ‘.PDF’, but every time the output PDF was corrupt and errored like this when trying to open: When testing this flow out I originally didn’t have the convert file action in place. Create file action creates corrupt PDF files The parse JSON action cleans this up and just leaves the body content of the page. Here’s the flow in it’s entirety: Issues & troubleshooting Formatting issues with the send an HTTP request to SharePointĪs mentioned above, when just using the send an HTTP request to SharePoint action, the output contains mark up that isn’t going to make sense within the PDF. This is reflected in the flow below with the condition step.ĭelete file action to remove the temporary HTML file. I set the default value of the choice column to be ‘Site Page’, so that the only pages that get converted are the ones I’m interested in. In my example I didn’t want all the site pages to be converted into PDF files, so I added a choice column to ‘tag’ all the pages that should be converted. A document library to store the output PDF files.A OneDrive location to temporarily store the SharePoint page outputs.A modern SharePoint site pages library (these come with every SharePoint site!).There are several posts online that cover very topic this that I’ll reference at the end, but they didn’t quite do exactly what I wanted – so here’s my take on how to convert SharePoint pages into PDF files! What you’ll need Also part of the brief was that when the SharePoint page is updated, the corresponding PDF file also updates. The converted SharePoint pages didn’t need to be formatted as it was only the body content of a SharePoint page that was needed. Recently I got asked to come up with a way to turn SharePoint pages into PDF files for use in an offline scenario. In this post we step through how you can use Power Automate to convert modern SharePoint pages into PDF files and save them to a document library.
