Automated Document Conversion from OneDrive to PDF

This n8n workflow automates the process of converting Word documents stored in a specific OneDrive folder into PDFs using Foxit’s PDF Services API, then emails the generated PDFs. The process begins with a OneDrive trigger that monitors a folder for new or updated Word files. When a file is detected, it is downloaded, and only Word documents are filtered for processing. These documents are then sent to Foxit for conversion via an HTTP request with custom authentication. The workflow checks the conversion task’s status periodically, and upon completion, downloads the resulting PDF. Finally, it sends the PDF as an email attachment, providing a seamless automation from document storage to delivery. This setup is useful for streamlining document management, especially in business environments where automation reduces manual effort.
