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.
