Hi!

Is anyone able to advise if there is an easy way to convert PDF files in bulk to Word documents? I have found some tips online but they just talk about single files rather than whole folders of files.

Also, can this be done with standard Premium apps? Or do I have purchase an API like here: Convert PDF to Word with Microsoft Power Automate — Encodian

TIA!

Bulk Conversion of PDF files to Word files

Hi s_tanswell84,

Of course you can do this for many files, consider this scenario where PDF Files are stored in a SharePoint document library, then you could do that way :

Get files : retrieves all files ("FSObjType eq 0" odata query filters on files only, no folder will be returned)

Apply to each : to loop throw all files

Get file content : to get current file in loop content

Convert - PDF to word : to convert pdf to word, expression in filename (which is destination docx file) is

concat(items('Apply_to_each')?['{Name}'], '.docx')

It concatenates pdf filename (without extension) with '.docx' extension

Note: There is no standard action to perform such conversion, you'll have to subscribe to a premium connector. Here I used Encodian's one. I've got a free account there which gives me 50 credits per month, this conversion action cost 1 credits per run. You can give a try and buy a better subscription if it fits your need.

Regards,

Sam

Bulk Conversion of PDF files to Word files

Word has a built-in feature that allows you to open PDFs directly in Word, which automatically converts them into editable Word documents. Here's how you can do it:

Open Word.

Go to File > Open, and then select the PDF file you want to convert.

Word will notify you that it will convert the PDF into an editable Word document. Click OK, and Word does the rest!
