Convert file

Hello everybody,

 

I have an application where the user uploads a file, and I want to create a flow that detects the extension of the file, if it is in pdf format it converts it into an image.
(The files are stored in a table at sharepoint)

 

How can I do this?

@gikido , Need more info

 

What application is the user uploading to?

Why do you want to convert PDF to image?

What if your PDF has multiple pages?

 

If my suggestion helped you, please give it a Thumbs up and Mark it as a Solution so that it can benefit others in the community.

No, the customer wants a solution without these two connectors. in addition there is no predefined document, the user can upload a different file each time

@gikido ,

 

You can build a flow that triggers on File uploaded trigger.

You can retrieve the File Extension using the following expression

last(split(triggerOutputs()?['body/{FilenameWithExtension}'],'.'))

Finally, you need to use a third-party connector to convert the file into an image. Here is one

Convert a PDF file to images with Power Automate — Encodian

Hey @gikido 

 

There is a free way to convert pdf to image.

Not sure if customer will give permission or not.

Firstly save your file in one drive for business.

You can do it using create file.

After this use convert file action, in the target type give jpg.

Then you can use create file action of one drive or sharepoint wherever you want the end file to be saved at.

Then you can just delete the file from one drive, if you dont want to store it in one drive.

 

 

I hope this helps 🙂

@Sundeep_Malik 's suggestion is a good one. The Reservation I have is storing confidential files temporarily in onedrive of the account that is used to establish the connection. Like Sundeep.said, check with the customer first

Hi @gikido , FYI - Encodian is a standard connector so does not require premium Power Platform licensing. It is however a 3rd party connector and comes with its own licensing.

Pricing is per action used (What is an Encodian action?)

Its free for 50 actions per month (you get 500 free actions in your first month trial).

From there, pricing starts at $499 per year for 500 actions per month and there are plans for 1,200 actions per month, 5,000 actions per month, 12,000 actions per month and more...
