easyPDF Cloud's workflow consists of a sequence of PDF operations. For example, a workflow can contain the operations to convert multiple documents into PDFs and merge them into a single PDF file. There are a lot of functions available within the workflows so have some fun and play around with the various options to get the documents exactly the way you want. To create a workflow, simply click “Create Workflow” below the three standard conversion options. This will take you to the workflow configuration screen where you can add function blocks from the left side of the screen by dragging them onto your workflow in the center of the screen, and you can modify their settings on the right side of the screen. Once you’ve set up your workflow, make sure you click “Done” on the top left of the screen.
