You can download it [here](https://gallery.nintex.com/t/muhimbi) or learn more about available Muhimbi deployments for Nintex on our [product page](https://www.nutrient.io/low-code). Nintex Forms provides a quick and easy way to create surveys, questionnaires, and more to collect responses from different people. However, the completed forms aren’t easily portable, i.e. you can’t send a form and guarantee the “look and feel” remains the same. In this guide, you’ll learn how to create a simple list containing a Nintex form and then associate Power Automate to convert the form to a PDF once the form is submitted. Then, you’ll learn how to batch-print those documents. ## How to Create a Nintex Form You can create a 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. Once the list has been configured, navigate to the list and click the **Nintex Forms** icon.![nintex form](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/nintex-print-to-pdf-1.jpg) 4. Click **OK** for the popup. The Nintex Form Demo opens in Nintex Forms.![nintex form demo](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/nintex-print-to-pdf-2.jpg) **Note:** In the page configuration section, the **Save** button has been automatically added to the form, and it'll work right out of the box. 5. Click **Publish**, and your form will be ready to be used in the MS SharePoint list. ## Prerequisites First, ensure all prerequisites are in place: - A full or free trial subscription of [Muhimbi Document Converter for Power Automate](https://www.nutrient.io/low-code/integrations/power-automate). - Appropriate privileges to create Power Automate flows. - Working knowledge of both Nintex Forms and Power Automate. - Access to a high-speed printer to print large volumes of documents quickly. ## Using Power Automate to Convert Nintex Forms to PDF On a high level, the workflow will look like what’s shown below.![power automate flow](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/nintex-print-to-pdf-3.jpg) To start building your flow, follow the steps outlined below. 1. Log in to Microsoft Flow and select the **My Flows** tab. Navigate to **New Flow** > **Automated cloud flow**.![new flow](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/nintex-print-to-pdf-4.jpg) 2. Enter a meaningful name for the flow, select the **When an item is created** MS SharePoint trigger, and click **Create**.![create flow](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/nintex-print-to-pdf-5.jpg) 3. In the trigger, specify the path to the SharePoint Online list to monitor the new list item.![sharepoint list path](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/nintex-print-to-pdf-6.jpg) 4. Add the Muhimbi **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 be best. - In the **Media type** field, select the **Print** option from the dropdown menu. This automatically helps strip out most of the MS SharePoint user interface. - In the **Authentication type** field, select **SharePoint Online** from the dropdown menu. - You’ll need to enter the correct **User name** and **Password** to be 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.![convert html to pdf](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/nintex-print-to-pdf-7.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](https://kamdaryash.wordpress.com/2020/05/29/use-azure-key-vault-to-avoid-passing-credentials-in-power-automate/) and pass it along. 5. Add the MS SharePoint **Create File** action to the flow canvas and configure it with the details below: - In the **Site Address** field, choose the correct site address from the dropdown menu. - Select the correct **Folder Path** where the converted PDF should be created. - Give a meaningful **File Name** to the created PDF, but make sure you remember to add the `.pdf` extension after the file name and to make the file name unique, or multiple runs of the flow will overwrite the same file. - Select the **Processed file content** option to populate the **File Content** field.![create file](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/nintex-print-to-pdf-8.jpg) 6. With everything in place, create a list item, and after a few seconds, a PDF will be placed in the output folder. 7. Periodically copy a batch of converted PDF files from SharePoint to your local drive using the Library’s Actions / Open with Windows Explorer menu. 8. Select the batch of PDF files on your local system, right-click one of the files, and select the **Print** option. --- ## Related pages - [Print SharePoint List Items to PDF](/guides/document-converter/sharepoint/print/print-list-to-pdf.md) - [InfoPath Print to PDF](/guides/document-converter/sharepoint/print/print-infopath.md) - [Print SharePoint Pages to PDF](/guides/document-converter/sharepoint/print/print-page-to-pdf.md) - [Print to PDF in SharePoint](/guides/document-converter/sharepoint/print.md) - [SharePoint Print to PDF](/guides/document-converter/sharepoint/print/print-to-pdf.md)
