Merge attachment Word File with forms questions using power automate

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 25

I have a form that has a list of questions. One of them is an uploaded word file. I created a word file from the form questions using the create file flow. How would I merge the uploaded word file from the forms with the questions? We don't have PDF services working yet that is why I am using a word file. I don't see a merge word file flow options in power automate either. Attached is my flow so far. It works but it doesn't merge the uploaded word file attachment. I was thinking of maybe extracting the text content from the uploaded word file from json and then create a file using the output from the compose and the text file from the uploaded doc using json? Not sure yet as I am new to this.

    Hi @lisbonc1987 ,

     

    Natively, Power Automate does not have any action that allows you to extract data from Word, but only from PDF (which is not an option for now, as you mentioned).

     

    I'm not sure, but I believe that Encodian connector may have an action to extract data from Word and/or allow you to integrate data from both sources. 

     

    @AlexEncodian , looping you here for any additional inputs.

    Thank you for your response @rzaneti. How would I extract the data from PDF if so? I see that we have Adobe Premium Services but I asked our Champions and I was told that we can't set up a connection yet and we don't have much choice when it comes to PDF right now.

    @AlexEncodian hmmm I don't see encodian in our flows. Perhaps we don't have it? But you mentioned it's standard so we should have it if so but I don't see any encodian in our flows.
