merge multiple word documents

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 4
I would like to combine word documents into one single file every time a new document is added to the specific folder, without the use of third-party connectors. My files are stored in SharePoint. I attached my screenshots.
The flow is working; however, the final document is not readable. how can I fix this problem?

    Hi @slecca2,

     

    A word file has a specific structure in OpenXml, it describes how objects (Settings, pages, font, etc...) are organized and stored. Merging two word files means knowing that structure, extracting object and data to creating a new structure in a new file. What you are doing is just adding two files content (structure) into one new container (file). It can't work. 

     

    There is no standard action to achive what you want to do, only third party connector offer such service. You can try the Encodian "Merge word documents": Merging Word Document Content with Power Automate — Encodian

     

    Encodian propose a free subcription that could be enough if you use it less than 50 times a month.

    Thank you for your answer. What about converting my files in .pdf and then apply the flow that I have shown before? Can I merge multiple pdf with this process?

     

    Thank you in advance

    Hi @slecca2,

     

    Nope, same results, PDF files are also structured, specific to PDF version further more and they can store XML like or/and binary data. Only way to merge file that are not text only files is to use third party connector.
