[@goodguywins]

Your tutorials are GOLD! Thank you so much for the great work.

[@andersjensenorg]

Hey Robert, I'm so glad to hear 😍 Currently I'm busy with deliveries IRL, but very soon I'll have new Power Automate videos ready . Have a great day. Kind regards, Anders

[@aisismailm]

Anders! This is what I was searching for the past one week, Great. Thank you very much.

[@andersjensenorg]

Hey Ahmed - my pleasure, I'm glad you could use the video 😊🙏 Kind regards, Anders

[@afghanviral]

Hi Anders, Thank you for great explanation. Is there a way to run PageCount independently? I wanted to do a PageCount before the split. If the pagecount is >5 and then do a split, if it is 5 or less then no. Any suggestions?

hi, great video, is there a way to split based on the variable page header, some times it could 1 page, 2 pages, or 3 pages?

Excellent video! Is there a way to split the pdf file without using the display select file? I created a power automate cloud flow that automatically executes this pdf splitter once a file is saved in a folder, so I need to avoid the step of choosing the file that I need to split

[@garcialex06]

Many thanks! Great explanation on how to make a very usefull flow

My plaesure, kind regards, Anders

[@andreibuja6397]

Hello, thanks for the tutorial, is it possible to change the name of each individual file depending on some text of the every page?

[@andersjensenorg]

For sure, Andrei - then we just need to grab that text with e.g. RegEx. Kind regards, Anders

[@DanielRalph-cj8gr]

Great video, is there a way i can split different pages up, ie, 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, etc.

This is very awesome! You made my day!. Wish you happy!

[@locutix3680]

Hi, that's a nice flow. How can you deploy this to the users at a company?

[@andersjensenorg]

You need to leverage Power Automate Cloud and have more licenses.

[@shaunrowley7230]

This is excellent and thanks again - i shall set this up to use for my car and home insurance than send a PDF where i need to extract each page and especially the certificate

[@andersjensenorg]

Thanks a ton, shaun - I'm so happy you take your time to comment. I enjoy followwing your Power Automate Desktop journey. Do you find it hard? Kind regards, Anders

[@BrainUpp]

Hi thanks for your help. i saw your scraping video and learned . i have one more question how to translate website to English while scraping with power automate

[@andersjensenorg]

Hey Brain Up. The question to ask ourselves. How would a human translate it - then we "just" replicate it. I hope that's answer enough, else please post the problem on my Discord (the link is in the description of the video). Kind regards, Anders

[@andersjensenorg]

And thanks a lot!

[@BrainUpp]

I would ask you to create a video scraping amazon products going in to the product details page and gathering multiple data

[@GabrielDunn-y4w]

At 4:35 you select "Extract PDF File Pages to new PDF" . I don't see that in the Cloud version. Did I miss it ? Do Desktop and Cloud have the same functions ?

[@jakehenry501]

How would I set this up to grab for instance the invoice number and date from the PDF and name it that while it’s splitting or would this need a separate operation?

How do you get "Actions" on the left of your screen ? My Power Automate looks very different.

[@andersjensenorg]

Hey, that's because you have Power Automate (Cloud). This is the desktop version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaq2emprnb57hbc Kind regards, Anders

[@adoleh]

Hello, I am trying to follow your tutorial but I am having trouble advancing past the "Extracted PDF file path:"; when I use the same syntax you used, the system throws an error "Unexpected characters. Characters are used in the formula in an unexpected way." Any idea how to resolve this issue? Please note, I am using PAD and it tends to use "=" signs now and no "%" anywhere.

[@albertodelosada5402]

Anders! Many thanks! Please I'm interested if you can cover on a video, being able to edit each pdf file so I can sign (using a function within Adobe Acrobat - PDF) contracts (files) that I have to renew quite frequently. For that, I will contrast that the person and date in each contract coincides with my validated list, if so, it should go ahead and insert the signature on each file. Please would very much appreciated if you can cover this subject/task. Kind Regards. Alberto
