PDF File creation won’t update edits

[rakhie_urs]

Hi!
I have set an automation to create a pdf file when a form is submitted or updated.

I also have a File type column that links to the created file.

Its working fine when form is submitted.

But when form is edited or updated file won’t change to new values.

But back in drive it will contain updated file only.

If I understand correctly, when a Form submits changes, the automation is overwriting the existing file?  If so, you may be hitting a scenario where the file contents have been cached.  Maybe they are not being updated in a timely manner?  Do you see the updated details after Syncing?

Yes I'm not able to see the update changes in file. But drive contains updated one.

Yep. Thanks for your reference.

I was also hoping to get rid off cached version.

Just go in behavior then offline sync and turn "The app can start when offline" off and turn "Server caching" on and also turn "Delta sync" on. Now when you edit the data and save the new version of pdf the file is updated and you see the updated pdf when you click on open pdf file button. This worked for me let me if it works for you as well.
