Hello,

 

i have a folder in Sharepoint with several documents, each with another file type f.e. .doc or .txt, or jpeg or .pdf and i want to merge them together in one PDF file in Power Automate Desktop. 

 

Is this possible? In Power Automate Cloud this is possible with a payed license of Adobe. 

 

But is this also possible in Power Automate Desktop?

 

And can somebody help me with this?

 

Looking forward to your reply.

 

With regards,

Diana

    PAD only supports merging PDF documents. So, you would first need to convert the other file types into PDF. The easiest way to do it in PAD would be using a script (like PowerShell) to "print" those files to PDF using the native Microsoft Print to PDF printer, that is in-built into Windows. Once you've done that, you can merge the files into a single PDF document.

    Hi @dorak1005 

     

    There are no such actions inbuilt available in PAD

    Check if Adobe is providing any Rest API to do so, then you can use Invoke web Service action to do the same

    OR you can check any other 3rd party tools are available, ELSE if you are good coder then you can create your own custom activity
