Yes, I mean physically print the PDF document that is attached to the SharePoint list from the actions of the flow. I am not familiar with Power Automate Desktop but did check it out. It appears if I want to run a flow built with PAD in my current workflow, a premium connector license is needed. Is that true?
Hi Annette1101, if you're using the Flow to create the PDF and you don't have a third party PDF creator installed you can use 'Microsoft Print to PDF' from inside PAD. If you want to create a PDF using a cloud based Flow then a third party connector will likely be needed. Printing to a local device doesn't need any special connectors, but you would need a PDF reader installed, like Adobe Reader or similar.
jonlake This seems to be the way to go. With PAD, do I need to pass through a variable of the URL to the document attached to the SharePoint list from the flow? I am still confused how PAD and PowerAutomate integrate.
