# Lightning Flow Action – Convert DOCX to PDF

If you have a DOCX file that you want to convert into a PDF, you can use a Flow to handle this. Use the "Convert a DOCX to PDF" action in the Flow Builder.

You can write your own logic to define the record and Content Document that needs to be converted.
