    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?

    Hi @PADUser123,

     

    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.
