    Are you trying to perform OCR on PDF files that arrive by e-mail? If so, you can use the Encodian action PDF Apply OCR:
    • It requires an Encodian API key has additional costs.
    • The general flow looks like this:
      • Trigger the flow using “When a new e-mail arrives” (with Include Attachments enabled).
      • Loop through the attachments and filter for PDF files.
      • If PDFs are present, pass them into the Encodian OCR action.
      • Save the processed (OCR’d) PDFs into SharePoint.
    If this is not what you needed, please update your post to include a question of what you need assistance with.
