How It Works
The PDF to Text workflow leverages n8n's powerful nodes to trigger automated document processing. Initially, a manual or scheduled trigger activates the workflow, selecting PDF source files. The workflow then uses specialized code nodes to extract text content, parsing complex document structures. Extracted text can be routed to various destinations like databases, spreadsheets, or other integrated systems, ensuring clean, structured data output with minimal human intervention.
