Help Needed to Create an Instant Flow in Power Automate to Merge PDF Files in OneDrive for Business

Posted on by CU13012033-0

Hello, I’m new to Power Automate and working on a project with the following requirements:

Automated PDF Conversion: When a file is created in our OneDrive for Business in a folder or subfolder, I check if the file is an image. If it is, I convert it into a PDF using the Adobe connector, which works perfectly.
Trouble with Manual Flow: Now, I need help creating an Instant Flow that can be triggered manually from within OneDrive for Business. I don’t want users to navigate through multiple screens.

Specifically, I want to achieve the following:
- When a user selects a single file in a OneDrive folder, I need to:
  1. Retrieve the folder path of the selected file.
  2. Get all the PDF file names within the same folder.
  3. Merge these PDFs into a single file using the Adobe connector.

I’m having trouble figuring out how to retrieve the folder path and dynamically get all the PDF files in the selected folder to merge them.

Can someone please help me design this flow or provide some guidance?

Thank you!

Hi,

I put this together quickly and checked a subfolder. Here I can find all the PDFs in the folder and add the path to an array variable using append. From here, you have an array variable that contains all the PDFs you want to work with and can hand them off to Acrobat connector to merge. Works in testing.
