Follow our simple guide to streamline your document conversion process." --- # Convert Nintex forms to PDF with Power Automate In this guide, you’ll learn how to convert a Nintex form to a PDF using Power Automate. Nintex Forms provides a quick and easy way to create surveys and questionnaires to collect responses from different people. Even though this is useful, the completed forms aren’t easily portable — i.e. you can’t send a form to another person and expect to keep the look and feel of the completed form, along with any files that have been uploaded to it, intact. Using Power Automate and [Nutrient Document Converter](https://www.nutrient.io/low-code/try/converter-power-automate/), you can merge form responses and attachments into a single document and then send that document as an email. You can also write the generated file to SharePoint, OneDrive, or anywhere you can send files using Microsoft Power Automate. ### Sample Nintex forms You can create your sample Nintex form by performing the following steps: 1. Navigate to your MS SharePoint site collection, create a new custom list, and name it **Nintex Form Demo**. 2. Once the list has been created, add a few columns based on your requirements. 3. You can make the **Name** column a single line of text for this example. 4. Once the list has been configured, navigate to it and click the **Nintex Forms** icon.![](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/pdf-converter/power-automate/nintex-form-to-pdf-1.jpg) 5. Click **OK**. The Nintex Form Demo will open in Nintex Forms![](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/pdf-converter/power-automate/nintex-form-to-pdf-2.jpg) **Note:** In the **Configure pages** section, the **Save** and **Cancel** buttons have been automatically added to the form, and they’ll work right out of the box. 6. Click **Publish** and your form will be ready to be used in the MS SharePoint list. ### Prerequisites Before building the workflow, ensure all prerequisites are in place: - Knowledge about Nintex Forms and how to build workflows using Power Automate - A full, free, or trial subscription to [Nutrient Document Converter](https://www.nutrient.io/low-code/try/converter-power-automate/) - Permission to use Power Automate - Appropriate privileges to create flows ### Using Power Automate to convert Nintex forms to PDF On a high level, the workflow will look as follows.![](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/pdf-converter/power-automate/nintex-form-to-pdf-8.jpg) 1. Log in to Power Automate and select the **My Flows** tab. Navigate to **New flow** > **Automated cloud flow**.![](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/pdf-converter/power-automate/nintex-form-to-pdf-3.jpg) 2. Enter a meaningful name for the flow in the **Flow name** field and select the **When an item is created** MS SharePoint trigger. Then click **Create**.![](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/pdf-converter/power-automate/nintex-form-to-pdf-4.jpg) 3. In the trigger, specify the path to the SharePoint Online list to monitor the new list item.![](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/pdf-converter/power-automate/nintex-form-to-pdf-5.jpg) 4. Add the Nutrient **Convert HTML to PDF** action to the flow canvas and configure it with the details below. - In the **Source URL or HTML** field, navigate to the **Add Dynamic Content** line and choose **Link to item** from the **Get file properties** action. - In the **Page orientation** field, select the appropriate option. Depending on the content and layout of the page, **Portrait** may work best. - In the **Media type** field, select **Print** from the dropdown menu. This automatically helps to strip out most of the MS SharePoint user interface. - In the **Authentication type** field, select **SharePoint Online** from the dropdown menu. - Enter the correct user name and password in the corresponding fields to get authenticated with the SharePoint Online authentication that you selected in the authentication field above. - In the **Conversion delay** field, enter a delay of 10,000 (in milliseconds, so 10 seconds). This delay will give the page time to load before it’s converted.![](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/pdf-converter/power-automate/nintex-form-to-pdf-6.jpg) **Note:** To pass credentials directly in the Power Automate action and in plain text without disclosing the credentials, you can [create a secret in Azure and pass this secret](https://kamdaryash.wordpress.com/2020/05/29/use-azure-key-vault-to-avoid-passing-credentials-in-power-automate/). 5. Add the MS SharePoint **Create file** action and configure it with the details below: - In the **Site Address** field, choose the correct site address from the dropdown menu. - In the **Folder Path** field, select where the converted PDF should be created. - In the **File Name** field, provide a unique and meaningful name to ensure that multiple runs of the flow don’t overwrite the file. Finally, be sure to add the `.pdf` extension. - In the **File Content** field, select **Processed file content** to populate the field.![](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/pdf-converter/power-automate/nintex-form-to-pdf-7.jpg) 6. With everything in place, create a list item, and after a few seconds, a PDF will appear in the output folder. --- ## Related pages - [Convert CAD/DWG to PDF using Power Automate](/guides/document-converter/power-automate/conversion/cad-to-pdf.md) - [Power BI automated export to PDF using Power Automate](/guides/document-converter/power-automate/conversion/bi-reports-to-pdf.md) - [Convert CSV files to Excel with Power Automate](/guides/document-converter/power-automate/conversion/csv-to-excel.md) - [Convert to PDF using Power Automate](/guides/document-converter/power-automate/conversion/convert-to-pdf.md) - [Convert email to PDF using Power Automate](/guides/document-converter/power-automate/conversion/email-to-pdf.md) - [Convert Excel files to CSV with Power Automate](/guides/document-converter/power-automate/conversion/excel-to-csv.md) - [Convert email attachments to PDF using Power Automate](/guides/document-converter/power-automate/conversion/email-with-attachments-to-pdf.md) - [Convert documents using Power Automate](/guides/document-converter/power-automate/conversion.md) - [Convert form to email using Power Automate](/guides/document-converter/power-automate/conversion/form-to-email.md) - [Convert images to PDF in Power Automate](/guides/document-converter/power-automate/conversion/image-to-pdf.md) - [Convert HTML to PDF using Power Automate](/guides/document-converter/power-automate/conversion/html-to-pdf.md) - [Convert InfoPath forms to PDF](/guides/document-converter/power-automate/conversion/infopath-to-pdf.md) - [Convert InfoPath to Excel](/guides/document-converter/power-automate/conversion/infopath-to-excel.md) - [Convert InfoPath forms to Word documents](/guides/document-converter/power-automate/conversion/infopath-to-word.md) - [Convert Excel to PDF using Power Automate](/guides/document-converter/power-automate/conversion/excel-to-pdf.md) - [Transform Microsoft Forms into Word documents](/guides/document-converter/power-automate/conversion/ms-form-to-word.md) - [Convert Microsoft Forms to PDF](/guides/document-converter/power-automate/conversion/ms-form-to-pdf.md) - [Convert PowerPoint to PDF using Power Automate](/guides/document-converter/power-automate/conversion/ppt-to-pdf.md) - [Convert TXT files to PDF using Power Automate](/guides/document-converter/power-automate/conversion/text-to-pdf.md) - [Convert SharePoint pages to PDF using Power Automate](/guides/document-converter/power-automate/conversion/sharepoint-page-to-pdf.md) - [Convert SharePoint lists to PDF Using Power Automate](/guides/document-converter/power-automate/conversion/sharepoint-list-to-pdf.md) - [Convert XLS to XLSX using Power Automate](/guides/document-converter/power-automate/conversion/xls-to-xlsx.md) - [Convert SharePoint files to PDF using Power Automate](/guides/document-converter/power-automate/conversion/sharepoint-to-pdf.md) - [Convert SharePoint wiki files to PDF using Power Automate](/guides/document-converter/power-automate/conversion/wiki-to-pdf.md) - [Convert Visio to PDF Using Power Automate](/guides/document-converter/power-automate/conversion/visio-to-pdf.md) - [Convert Word to PDF with Power Automate](/guides/document-converter/power-automate/conversion/word-to-pdf.md)
