Filling out existing fillable pdf using flows

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 13

Hi Flow Community, 

i am looking to create a flow where a user would enter information like Full name, address into a manual trigger button where this would then populate a pre existing fillable pdf. i have seen plumsail offers this option but they do not off a free version and their cost is to much for what i need it for. Can this be done with out plumsail ? Maybe using a power app ? 

 

Thanks

    Hi

     

    I added fields in the 1st step "Manually trigger a flow" but I can't see or add them in the step "Populate a Microsoft Word template"

     

    Thank you.

    Hi @RyanMac45 ,

     

    In flow's existing Connectors, only Plumsail Documents connector has Fill in PDF form action, and Fill in PDF form is still in the experimental stage.

    You can consider filling this information into a Microsoft Word template, create a Document file and then convert it into PDF file.

    First of all, you need to create a Microsoft Word template, please have a reference to this article: save-a-word-document-as-a-template

    After you create a template above, you can create a flow just like these screenshots:

    This is the result of successful:
