This workflow converts a DOCX file to PDF and aims to generate structured metadata in English and Chinese. Currently, it focuses on the conversion and saving of the PDF.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow automates the conversion of a DOCX file to a PDF document using the ConvertAPI service. It is designed to be a foundational step towards generating structured metadata for documents in multiple languages, specifically English and Chinese. The current implementation successfully fetches a DOCX file, converts it to PDF, and saves the resulting PDF to disk. Future enhancements can be built upon this to incorporate metadata extraction and translation.
