Get all file names in subfolder (Convert Word Document to PDF)

Hi there,

I am using the "Convert word document to PDF" function in my work flow, with the steps below:

1. The flow populates a word template.

2. It creates a word document for each row in the supplied excel.

3. The created word documents are stored in a subfolder called "Pay_Slips" in the "Finance" document library.

The Problem:

I want to convert all the word docs in the "Pay_Slips" subfolder a shown in the snap below:

The problem am facing is that I have to specify a file name in the "*File" field. I would like to use dynamic content (the variable "Name") so that every word document in the subfolder is converted to PDF.

Convert word to pdf

Note: Using dynamic content ("Name") works if am saving the word docs at the root of the library.

Any help is much appreciated.

Hi @paulgonzaga,

You could for example use a get files (properties only) action to list all the files in the pay_slips sub folder. With an apply to each loop you could loop through this collection of items and convert them one by one to a pdf.

Below is an example of that approach.

To get the correct file name I am using an expression which uses the FullPath property and removes the library name:

replace(items('Apply_to_each')?['{FullPath}'], 'Finance/', '')
