ReportHi everyone,
Just discovered power automate I am having issues stringing all the tasks I want together. Any help would be appreciated!
Work Goal
Automate PDF processing for a group of PDFs placed in a folder. Or just one file if its impossible to do and I can just run it many times
Notes: PDF with digital certificate and that is to be printed to pdf will always be labeled as XXXXX - Approved, where XXXXX can vary.
Workflow
- Put all PDFs in folder that require processing
- "Print to PDF" the file (need to do this to flatten the digital certificate so I can add a header, and adjust margins)
- Name the newly created pdf file based off the old file name (remove the "- Approved" at end, if not possible then can it be renamed the same name but with a period at the end ie. xxxx - Approved.)
- Open newly created pdf, use edit to do the following edits
- Margins Top 1, Bottom 1.5
- Add a space to Left header and footer
- Check "Shrink document to avoid overwriting the document's text and graphics"
- Add old PDF file with digital certificate as an attachment to new file.
- Repeat for all files in folder (if possible)
Steps 3 and 5 are the ones I cannot seem to get. How can I add these steps to the Power Automate workflow?
Current Progress
the above will print to pdf all files in folder. However it does not rename which is my problem, so at the end I have to rename them all manually.
this flow was generated from the recorder and is all the pdf edits i will make. will insert into loop after i name the file.
Thank you for reading through this. Any help or guides with for a similar goal would be much appreciated!
Dan
