About This Workflow
This n8n workflow empowers you to unlock the information trapped within your PDF files. By starting with a manual trigger, you initiate a process that first accesses the raw binary data of a PDF. It then intelligently reads and parses the PDF content, making it readily available for further processing within your automated workflows. Imagine automatically pulling key details from invoices, reports, or any other PDF document without manual intervention. This node combination is a foundational step for advanced data management and integration tasks, significantly reducing manual effort and potential errors in data handling.
