Add Trusted PDF Sealing to Power Automate

Cloud Connector for Power Automate lets teams trigger sealing directly from Microsoft Power Automate while keeping PDF handling inside their own Azure deployment. A flow sends the PDF, credentials, and sealing options to the customer’s Cloud Connector for Azure, which performs the sealing operation without moving the file outside the customer’s cloud.

When to use Cloud Connector for Power Automate

Use it when document workflows already run in Power Automate and you want trusted PDF sealing to appear as a workflow action instead of custom code or a separate integration layer.

1

workflow action

Add sealing as a Power Automate step inside the flows your teams already manage.

0

external file transfers

The PDF stays inside your Azure cloud boundary throughout the workflow.

1

required cloud dependency

Built for customers already running Cloud Connector for Azure.

Azure

deployment model

Use Power Automate for orchestration and your Azure connector for controlled sealing.

Power Automate workflow step Azure cloud boundary No external PDF transfer Customer-managed connector deployment Reader-native Acrobat validation

Workflow fit

Keep sealing inside the Microsoft automation tools your teams already use

Best for enterprise teams routing files through Power Automate, SharePoint, storage events, queues, or approval workflows.

Operations teams

Add a sealing action without building a custom connector from scratch.

Platform teams

Reuse the same Cloud Connector for Azure deployment across multiple flows and business units.

Security teams

Keep PDFs, secrets, and network controls inside the customer's Azure boundary.

Business systems

Return the sealed PDF to the same flow for storage, delivery, or downstream processing.

How it works

Step 1: Add the workflow action

A Power Automate flow calls the sealing action with the PDF, API credentials, and required options.

Step 2: Send to your Azure connector

The action forwards the request to your Cloud Connector for Azure running inside your customer environment.

Step 3: Return the sealed PDF

Your Azure deployment returns the sealed output so the flow can save, distribute, or archive it.

Workflow patterns

SharePoint and storage flows

Seal PDFs as they move through document libraries, blob storage, or handoff queues.

Discuss workflow fit

Approval and routing flows

Apply a trusted PDF seal after business approvals or pre-delivery checks inside Power Automate.

Plan an evaluation

Back-office automation

Use Power Automate for invoicing, notices, statements, or generated reports that need trusted PDF delivery.

Outcomes for your team

  • Give Power Automate users a native sealing step without pushing PDFs outside the customer’s cloud.
  • Reuse your Cloud Connector for Azure deployment across many document workflows.
  • Reduce custom integration work for teams already committed to Microsoft workflow tooling.
  • Keep recipient validation behavior unchanged in Acrobat and other compatible PAdES viewers.

Capabilities

Capability Summary

Turn trusted PDF sealing into a Power Automate action while keeping the document path, credentials, and connector runtime inside your Azure environment.

Power Automate workflow action

Expose sealing as a repeatable step in Microsoft business workflows.

Requires Cloud Connector for Azure

Use the existing Azure deployment as the runtime endpoint that receives requests from the connector.

PDF stays in your cloud

The document is passed within your Azure boundary instead of being uploaded to an external service.

Credentials under your control

Use your Azure secrets and workflow controls to manage API keys and environment-specific parameters.

Return sealed PDFs to the flow

Save the sealed file back to SharePoint, blob storage, email, queue, or another downstream step.

No-code or low-code fit

Support business workflow owners without requiring each team to build direct API integrations.

Reader-visible trust outcomes

Recipients still validate the final document in Acrobat/Reader and other compatible PAdES viewers.

Shared Azure operating model

Monitor, log, and scale the Azure connector with the same controls used for your other cloud workloads.

Role paths

For Workflow Owners

Add a sealing action to existing Power Automate flows and keep the output inside familiar Microsoft workflow patterns.

Plan a pilot

For Platform and Security Teams

Keep document movement, credentials, and connector runtime inside Azure while still enabling trusted PDF delivery for business teams.

Security overview

Trust and standards

Cloud Connector for Power Automate preserves the same standards-based PDF sealing behavior as Publisher and Cloud Connector for Azure. The workflow path changes how teams invoke sealing, not how recipients verify the document.

That means the returned PDF still follows the same ISO 32000 and X.509 trust model, with Acrobat/Reader and other compatible PAdES viewers used for recipient validation.

Trust documentation

Review cloud-boundary responsibilities, custody, and validation behavior.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Cloud Connector for Azure required?
Yes. Cloud Connector for Power Automate is designed for customers already running the Cloud Connector for Azure inside their own environment.
Does the PDF leave our Azure environment?
No. The Power Automate action sends the PDF and parameters to your Cloud Connector for Azure, so the document remains inside your cloud boundary.
What does the flow pass into the connector?
Flows typically send the PDF payload plus API key material or references, certificate selection details, and sealing parameters required by your Azure deployment.
What comes back to the flow?
The action returns the sealed PDF and related response metadata so later steps can store, email, or route the trusted document.
When should we use this instead of direct API integration?
Use it when business or operations teams already automate document handling in Power Automate and want sealing available as a native workflow step.
How is pricing structured?
Cloud Connector for Power Automate is planned alongside your Cloud Connector for Azure deployment and expected workflow volume.
