# Relay Pull PDF Action

The **RelayPullPDFAction** is used to pull a PDF document generated from a Relay Power-up form submission. Once downloaded, a **ContentDocument** link to the specified **linkedEntityId** will be created.

This flow action is always executed in a background job. If an error occurs during the PDF download, a record will be created in the [RelayLog__c](/docs/relaylog-c) custom object.

Review [Example 5: Save Relay Power-up PDF to Salesforce](/docs/example-5-save-relay-power-up-pdf-to-salesforce) for a complete example flow.

WARNINGThis action makes an external callout to Relay Network. Please be aware of any impacts this has against your Sales*f*orce API limits. [Salesforce Callout Limits](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_callouts_timeouts.htm)

The user can explicitly view but not edit the shared file. - **C** — Collaborator permission. The user can explicitly view and edit the shared file. You can retrieve the ShareType for ContentDocumentLink, but you can't create a ContentDocumentLink with a ShareType of C from an Apex trigger. - **I** — Inferred permission. The user’s permission is determined by the related record. For shares with a library, this is defined by the permissions the user has in that library. Inferred permission on shares with libraries and file owners is available in API versions 21.0 and later. Inferred permission on shares with standard objects is available in API versions 36.0 and later.
