Open a PDF File within a SharePoint Document Library using PowerAutomate Desktop

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello!

 

I need to extract some data from a PDF file saved in a Document Library within SharePoint using PowerAutomate, however, I am not able to connect with it, I tried with Python Scripts, but it neither recognizes nor opens the PDF file.

 

Do you have a solution?

    Hi Braalvrod,

     

    You can Sync your SharePoint Document Library ( or Specific SharePoint Folder) to OneDrive. It will create a local folder in your computer and you can easily read all the pdf documents from it.

    Synchronize Files and Folders from OneDrive and SharePoint to Your Local Computer - YouTube
