Frequently asked questions
Can Power Automate read content from a PDF file?
Yes, but it depends on the type of PDF. If the file is text-based, you can extract content directly. If it’s a scanned image, you’ll need to use OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to read the content.
Can Power Automate extract data from scanned PDFs?
Not natively — scanned PDFs are images. You’ll need to connect Power Automate to a service like AI Builder, Azure OCR, or Nutrient SDK to convert images to text before extracting fields.
Can I extract specific fields or values (like invoice number, date, total)?
Yes. Use AI Builder Form Processing, Azure Form Recognizer, or a third-party service to extract structured fields and return them in JSON for use in your flows.
Can Power Automate convert a PDF to another format (Word, Excel)?
Yes. You can use connectors like OneDrive + Convert File, or call Adobe PDF Services or Power Automate Premium connectors to convert files within a flow.
Can I trigger a flow when a PDF is uploaded to SharePoint or OneDrive?
Absolutely. Use the “When a file is created” trigger, then run your PDF extraction or OCR logic on the uploaded file.
Can I extract tables or multi-line data from a PDF?
It’s possible using Form Recognizer, AI Builder, or specialized tools. Standard Power Automate tools may not reliably extract structured table data without OCR + formatting logic.
