Using Flow to input text into a PDF

Posted on by 24

Hi everyone,

 

I have a use case that I need some help with.

 

I need to:

 

1. Get a PDF that's in a document library.

2. Input some text (an ID from its properties) into the PDF's first page, at a specific coordinate.

3. Save the PDF and copy it to another library (I know how to do this part).

 

I've check the PDF actions but none of the can edit or append text onto the PDF file.

 

Thanks for anyone's suggestion!

    Hi Alex, if I had to use this for a lot of documents and sometimes the PDF is more than 200mb, the Encondian action is erroring out. Is there a way to only get the body content of the first page, add the text, then stitch it back to the front of the large PDF file?

    Thanks, this worked.

    The text water mark is also selectable when added to the PDF so this meets all my requirements.

     

    Thank you.

    Insert the text using Encodian's Add Text Watermark to PDF (Advanced) action. You can choose the exact location through the advanced configuration.
