Automatically emailing PDF's individually

Posted on by A-RAMIREZ

Hello All,

I am trying to email PDF's individually, but want to automate it in Power Automate.

I have Adobe Pro where I can split PDF's.

My issue is I am trying to send each of those PDF's individually. The system that receives them can only process one PDF per email.

I will have a file location for each of the PDF's. If it will be easier, I can have the original PDF with multiple pages and have Power Automate split the PDF's.

I searched here and googled and I cannot find what I am looking for.

Is there an easier way or different way that this can be done?

Thank you in advance!

-Anthony

Hi @A-RAMIREZ ,

As of now there is no way to split a PDF and send individual files using Power Automate standard/business connectors. But this can be done using third party connectors like Muhimbi or Cloudmersive.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Thank you!
I have Adobe Pro, so I can split the PDF's. That will not be a concern. I just didnt know if it would be helpful to or not.

Now I just need to find a solution to the rest.
thanks!

Hi @A-RAMIREZ ,

Sorry for the confusion.

What output does the split PDF action return ?

I cannot try this at my end since I do not have a adobe license.

But one way I can think of is creating a temporary file in a OneDrive folder and attaching them. (if it does not allow you to attach multiple files).

If possible you can share the screenshot/outputs of the split PDF action.

Thanks,

Hello @SanmeshG,

I have the PDF files in a folder.

I am also looking for the step-by-step how to put it in to Power Automate.

TLDR:
Each email needs one PDF attached.
Have a folder address that Power Automate can reference.
The receiver of the emails is a system that onlys processes one email with one attachment.
Need a Power Automate run down on how to do this if possible.

Hi @A-RAMIREZ ,

Here are the steps (after you have split the files and they are in a folder). Note, I also do something similar with Power Automate Desktop and find it a little easier (or more efficient and Adobe Pro) but do use both.

OK, so your power automate flow is this.

So the first action is to list files in folder. This is going to give you an array of all the pdfs in the folder so you can loop through the folder and email them.

Next add the action Get file content. When you point to the ID of list files in folder, it is going to wrap itself in an apply to each (or for each) loop.

Lastly, add the send email action, shown below.

Hello @trice602,

Thank you for the information. After reviewing it, I just want to make sure I am reading it correctly.

This will pull the PDFs, but will it have one email with only one pdf attachment?

Thank you!

Hi @A-RAMIREZ ,

Correct. As described in the previous comments, this assumes you already have your individual PDFs in a folder. Then with the flow example provided, you will email someone ONE pdf per email with ONE attachment.

Here's what I typically will do with new flow development. Throw a few PDFs in a new test folder and try the flow emailing it to yourself. Works well and helps you validate your flow before using.
