This n8n workflow automates the process of converting PDFs into text for easy data extraction and manipulation. Starting with a manual trigger, it demonstrates how to generate a PDF from HTML content, fetch a PDF from a URL, and then convert the PDF into readable text. The workflow is useful for automating data extraction from PDFs, such as invoices, reports, or any document processing tasks.
Step-by-step, the workflow begins with a manual trigger to initiate the process. It converts a simple HTML string (‘Hello World’) into a PDF document. Then, it includes a code node that dynamically supplies a URL to a PDF file. The workflow subsequently takes the URL-based PDF and converts it into text, enabling further data processing. The connections among nodes ensure a logical flow from content creation to data extraction.
This setup is particularly practical for automating the extraction of data from online PDFs, simplifying document analysis, or integrating PDF data into other systems or workflows.
