Has anybody done ui automation power pdf
Hi @PADUser123,
Yes, I have worked with Power Automate desktop flows and pdf files. It should be possible to interact with this files from the Power Automate desktop tool. Below are a couple of actions for PDFs:

Do you have a specific question in relation to this subject?
is mouse move action reliable when we use it on pdf? like if the resolution changes does the selected mouse position change? if no what can we use instead
For my requirements the move mouse action has been sufficient in the past for interaction with pdfs via applications like Adobe Acrobat Reader. I didn't have any complaints about that action 😁
Move mouse can be relative to the screen, active window or current mouse position. You can also use OCR to move a mouse to text or to images.

is there any way to get the number of pages in a pdf file?
