This n8n workflow automates the process of converting uploaded PDF files into Markdown format using LlamaIndex’s API. It begins with a form trigger that allows users to upload a PDF. Once a file is submitted, the workflow uploads the PDF for parsing, verifies the processing status, and retrieves the converted Markdown content. This setup is useful for content creators, developers, or teams that need to systematically extract and format PDF content for web publishing or data analysis.

The workflow’s key steps include:

1. A form trigger waits for a user to upload a PDF file.

2. Upon submission, it triggers a wait node to allow for processing delay.

3. The file is uploaded to LlamaIndex’s API via an HTTP POST request with authentication.

4. The workflow then periodically checks the processing status through another HTTP request.

5. Once successful, it retrieves the Markdown-formatted output of the PDF.

This automation ensures seamless, hands-free transformation of PDF documents into versatile Markdown, ideal for digital publishing, documentation, or data processing tasks.
