Optimize PDF size using Power Automate¶
Sometimes you need to reduce a PDF file size and it’s easy to do with Compress PDF document from Plumsail Documents package.
In this example, we will work with files from a SharePoint documents library and use the default SharePoint trigger and actions. You can use some other system. Power Automate (Microsoft Flow) has a lot of connectors for different systems. Here are just a few of them:
SharePoint
Box
OneDrive
Google Drive
Dropbox
SFTP
File System
The plan is the following:
The flow will start with a SharePoint trigger When a file is created or modified in a folder
Then we pass the file content to Compress PDF document action
And save the result to a SharePoint folder
Note
Please don’t forget to specify the .pdf extension.
This is the flow
Conclusion¶
We showed one simple example where you can use Compress PDF document action. The same action could be used to compress many PDF files in one flow. You can get all files from one folder and compress them in a loop.
