Convert HTML to PDF in Power Automate - html

Question

I am working on Power Automate and trying to convert an HTML page into a pdf file. However, before the HTML page content loads completely, the conversion process takes place. As a result, the pdf file created is either blank or has a loading symbol.
I believe the need is to add a manual delay of a few seconds between page load and pdf file conversion, but am unable to do so.
Below is the concerned 'definition' file JSON code extracted after exported the Power Automate Flow. The connector for pdf conversion can be searched as "operationId":"ConvertFileByPath"

Answer 1

You can use the Run after property on the action to get the HTML.
So once the action return then you convert your PDF
