Automate PDF to HTML Conversion via Google Drive
detail.loadingPreview
This n8n workflow automates the seamless conversion of PDF files uploaded to Google Drive into HTML format. It monitors a designated folder, processes only PDFs, and then saves the converted HTML files back to Google Drive, streamlining document transformation effortlessly.
About This Workflow
This powerful n8n workflow provides a robust solution for hands-free PDF to HTML conversion. It intelligently monitors a specific Google Drive folder for new file uploads. Upon detecting a new file, it first verifies if the file is a PDF. If confirmed, the workflow then leverages an external API (like PDF.co) to perform a high-fidelity conversion of the PDF content into clean HTML. Finally, the generated HTML document is packaged and automatically saved into another specified Google Drive folder. This automation eliminates manual conversion steps, ensures consistency, and is ideal for scenarios requiring dynamic web content, archiving, or streamlined digital asset management.
Key Features
- Google Drive Monitoring: Automatically triggers upon new PDF file uploads to a designated Google Drive folder.
- Intelligent File Type Detection: Ensures only PDF files are processed, preventing unnecessary conversions.
- Robust PDF to HTML Conversion: Utilizes a powerful external API (e.g., PDF.co) for accurate and reliable document transformation.
- Automated HTML Storage: Saves the converted HTML files directly back into a specified Google Drive folder.
- No-Code Automation: Set up complex document workflows without writing a single line of code.
How To Use
- Configure Google Drive Trigger: Set up the "Google Drive Trigger" node to monitor the specific Google Drive folder where new PDF files will be uploaded. Ensure your Google Drive OAuth2 API credentials are correctly configured.
- Set Up PDF Conversion API: Obtain an API key for a PDF conversion service (e.g., PDF.co) and configure the "HTTP Request" node. You'll need to set the
httpHeaderAuthcredential with your API key. - Specify Output Folder: In the final "Google Drive" node, specify the target folder URL or ID where you want the converted HTML files to be saved. Ensure the associated Google Drive OAuth2 API credentials are valid.
- Activate Workflow: Once all nodes are configured and credentials are set, activate the workflow to begin automated PDF to HTML conversions.
