Comparing content of 2 pdfs

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi guys,

 

I have two folders in sharepoint that contain numerous pdfs. I need a flow that could compare the pdfs in these two folders using their texts.

 

I need to be able to set a condition that states: if the number of times [text] exists in file 1 =/= the number of times [text] exists in file 2, place both pdfs into a new folder. I also would like to add this condition multiple times, as there are several [text]s that need to be compared in these files.

 

If [text] in doc 1 is = to [text] in doc 2, I need it to move on to the next document in the two folders.

 

[text] is basically just a few letters written together, like "LO."

 

Ive attached how my flow looks like so far.

 

Please let me know how to go about setting this condition?
Thank you!

    Hello @Anonymous

     

    This is how it should work:

    I skipped the AI part but this is a good formula to get the text using only one compose:

     

    join(xpath(xml(json(concat('{ "root": { "results": ', outputs('Recognize_text_in_an_image_or_a_PDF_document')?['body/responsev2/predictionOutput/results'], ' } }'))), 'root/results/lines/text/text()'), ' ')
