You can then customize this flow by modifying it according to your needs.

00:00:12

Let's start by launching the power automate desktop application from the shortcut

00:00:18

to access the templates offered by power automate,

00:00:20

select example from the home screen.

00:00:24

The templates are then classified by themes.

00:00:27

In our case, we will look at the available templates related to PDF files.

00:00:31

A list of templates will be presented with a title, a description

00:00:35

and a level of technicality.

00:00:38

Let's try the flow that automates the extraction of images from a PDF.

00:00:43

Generally, when we have this need, we tend to open a PDF for example,

00:00:48

a product marketing file and try to right click on

00:00:50

the image to save it but it often doesn't work.

00:00:54

We then follow the good old technique of a screenshot

00:00:57

defining a selection frame often imprecise

00:01:00

and yet we have only one image to capture in this PDF.

00:01:05

That's where power automate comes into play

00:01:08

from the template that interests you, you generate a copy of the flow

00:01:13

rename it and it will be available and editable in the my flows menu.

00:01:19

Let's test this template copy as is

00:01:22

upon execution. A dialog box will ask you to select the PDF file to process

00:01:28

point to your marketing sheet and click extract

00:01:32

a second dialogue box will then ask you to

00:01:34

specify a target folder to save the extracted images,

00:01:38

select your desktop and create a folder.

00:01:44

After a few moments,

00:01:45

a folder containing all the images from the PDF will appear on your desktop.

00:01:50

Perfect

00:01:52

to modify the terms in our flow and add a confirmation message at the end of it,

00:01:56

go to my flows and the pencil icon allows you to edit

00:02:01

on the screen. You will see the structure of your flow.

00:02:04

Choose to modify the first form block using the three little dots.

00:02:08

You can customize your dialogue box label here.

00:02:12

Just click the designer button to access form attributes and make your update.

00:02:17

In this example, we leave everything as default

00:02:23

to add an execution,

00:02:24

confirmation message type message in the left column and drag

00:02:28

the corresponding action to the end of the flow.

00:02:31

Customize the title and message of the box

00:02:34

specify that images from protected PDF S will not be extracted.

00:02:40

Finally customize the extract images from a PDF action

00:02:44

by modifying the prefix of the saved image names.

00:02:48

You can specify a range of pages to extract or a specific page.

00:02:52

Here we keep all the pages

00:02:55

test again.

00:02:57

After executing the flow and the confirmation message,

00:03:00

you will see that the specified folder contains all the images from the PDF.

00:03:04

You only need to sort and keep the ones that interest you.

00:03:07

The flow is 100% operational.
