Objectifs :
This document aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how to utilize Power Automate Desktop to automate the extraction of images from PDF files using templates. It will guide users through the process of launching the application, selecting templates, executing flows, and customizing them to meet specific needs.
Chapitres :
-
Introduction to Power Automate Desktop
Power Automate Desktop is a powerful tool that allows users to automate repetitive tasks. One of the simplest ways to understand its functionality is by starting with a template. This guide will walk you through the process of using a template to extract images from PDF files. -
Launching Power Automate Desktop
To begin, launch the Power Automate Desktop application from your desktop shortcut. Once the application is open, you will be greeted with a home screen that provides access to various templates. -
Accessing Templates
On the home screen, select 'Examples' to view the templates offered by Power Automate. These templates are categorized by themes, and for this guide, we will focus on those related to PDF files. -
Selecting a Template for PDF Image Extraction
A list of templates will be displayed, each with a title, description, and level of technicality. We will choose the template that automates the extraction of images from a PDF. This is particularly useful when dealing with PDF files, such as product marketing documents, where right-clicking to save images may not work. -
Executing the Template
After selecting the desired template, generate a copy of the flow. Rename it, and it will be available for editing in the 'My Flows' menu. To test the template, execute it as is. A dialog box will prompt you to select the PDF file you wish to process. Choose your marketing sheet and click 'Extract'. -
Saving Extracted Images
A second dialog box will ask you to specify a target folder for saving the extracted images. Select your desktop and create a new folder. After a brief moment, a folder containing all the images extracted from the PDF will appear on your desktop. -
Customizing the Flow
To modify the flow and add a confirmation message at the end, navigate to 'My Flows' and click the pencil icon to edit. You will see the structure of your flow. Choose to modify the first form block by clicking on the three dots. Here, you can customize the label of your dialog box. -
Adding a Confirmation Message
To add an execution confirmation message, type 'Message' in the left column and drag the corresponding action to the end of the flow. Customize the title and message of the confirmation box, specifying that images from protected PDFs will not be extracted. -
Finalizing the Image Extraction Action
Customize the 'Extract Images from a PDF' action by modifying the prefix of the saved image names. You can also specify a range of pages to extract or a specific page. For this example, we will keep all the pages. -
Testing the Customized Flow
After making the necessary modifications, test the flow again. Upon execution, you will see the confirmation message, and the specified folder will contain all the images extracted from the PDF. You can then sort and keep the images that interest you. -
Conclusion
The flow is now fully operational, allowing you to efficiently extract images from PDF files. By utilizing Power Automate Desktop and customizing templates, you can streamline your workflow and save valuable time.
FAQ :
What is Power Automate and how does it work?
Power Automate is a cloud-based service that enables users to create automated workflows between different applications and services. It works by allowing users to set triggers and actions that automate repetitive tasks, improving efficiency and productivity.
How can I extract images from a PDF using Power Automate?
To extract images from a PDF using Power Automate, you can start by selecting a template designed for image extraction. After launching the flow, you will be prompted to select the PDF file and specify a target folder for the extracted images.

Yes, after generating a copy of the flow from a template, you can customize it by modifying various elements, such as dialog box labels, confirmation messages, and the parameters for image extraction.
What should I do if the images from a protected PDF do not extract?
If the images from a protected PDF do not extract, it is important to note that Power Automate will not be able to extract images from such files. You may need to check the PDF's permissions or use alternative methods to access the images.
