Merge PDFs

Question

Hello,I am merging several PDF documents via Power Automate Flows with the merge action from Adobe, which are in SharePoint list items, i.e. getting attachment content etc..Until last Friday, the action worked perfectly. Since Monday, however, it has been hanging in a continuous loop with the merge function until it times out. I have not changed anything in the action or in the test documents in SharePoint.What could be the reason?Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Hi @mathias_2245,

Hope you are doing well. Sorry for your experience!

Here are a few steps you might want to try:

Check the Microsoft Power Automate Service Status page to see if there are any known issues or outages affecting their services.

You can also try rebuilding the action from scratch or testing the flow in debug mode to check the individual steps.

Ensure that the permissions for the SharePoint documents have not changed and that Power Automate has the proper permissions to access the files.

Review the timeout settings for the merge action in Power Automate. If necessary, consider splitting the PDF documents into smaller sets and merging them in batches.

Adding to the steps above, you can also check your Adobe integration settings within Power Automate.

Hope this helps.
