Check Paging Options. custom uses Page Number. first puts the slip as the new page 1. last appends at the end. Only applies when Output Format Type is PDF.
Page Number is greyed out / ignored
Paging Options is something other than custom. Switch Paging Options to custom and the Page Number field becomes active.
QR-bill page is blank or unreadable
IBAN is invalid (must start with CH or LI, max 21 chars) or Currency is something other than CHF / EUR. Both are hard requirements of the Swiss Payment Standards.
Bank rejects a QRR reference
QRR references must be 27 digits with a mod-10 check digit. If you do not have one, switch Reference Type to SCOR (ISO 11649) or NON and leave Reference empty.
Create file writes an empty file
File Content on Action 4 is not bound to the PDF4me File Content output. Click the field and re-pick the dynamic content from Action 3.
Want a standalone QR slip without a source invoice
Skip Action 2 (Get file content). On Action 3, leave File Content and File Name empty under Advanced parameters and the action returns a standalone Swiss QR-bill in the chosen Output Format Type.
How do I insert the Swiss QR-bill on a specific page in Power Automate?+
Click Show all on Advanced parameters in the PDF4me Barcode - Create SwissQR Bill action. Set Paging Options to custom, then set Page Number to the 1-based page index where the QR-bill should land (3 in this guide). Output Format Type must be PDF for Paging Options to take effect.
What is the difference between Paging Options values first, last, add at end, and custom?+
first inserts the QR-bill as the new page 1 (everything else shifts down by one). last appends at the very end of the source PDF. add at end is a functional alias for last. custom uses the Page Number field to insert at a specific 1-based position.
Why does the QR-bill not move when I change Paging Options?+
Output Format Type is set to PNG, JPEG, or Tiff. Image formats ignore Paging Options because the output is a standalone slip image, not a multi-page document. Switch Output Format Type to PDF.
Can I generate a Swiss QR-bill image (PNG) without a source invoice?+
Yes. Set Output Format Type to PNG (or JPEG / Tiff). Skip the File Content and File Name fields under Advanced parameters. The action returns a standalone QR-bill image you can embed inline in an Outlook email or display on a web page.
Why use guid() in the Dropbox Create file File Name?+
It guarantees every run lands as a unique file in /pdf4meoutput so re-runs do not silently overwrite previous outputs. Concatenating headers/FileName from the PDF4me output keeps the original invoice name inside the new filename for traceability.
My IBAN starts with DE / FR / IT, can I still use this?+
No. Swiss QR-bills are scoped to CH and LI IBANs only. For European SEPA payments with non-Swiss IBANs use the Generate EPC QR Code for SEPA action instead.
Address Type S vs K, which one should I pick?+
S (Structured) is the modern default and the recommended choice for new integrations. PostalCode and City go in separate fields; Address Line 1 / 2 carries the street. K (Combined) puts the full address into two free-text Address Line fields and leaves PostalCode and City empty.
Same flow in Make, Zapier, or n8n?+
Yes. The same PDF4me Create Swiss QR Bill action is available on all four platforms with identical parameters. See the cross-platform comparison at the bottom of the action reference page.
