When i store the new pdf, the flow is been triggered.

As the next stept, i want to get the content of this pdf. But that is the first thing which does not work.

Can you help me out?

Thanks

Re: get content from PDF in sharepoint online

Hi @thvhadji ,

It seems impossible to directly obtain the PDF file content from SharePoint Web.

Although the Url+#section_name works in web browser doesn't mean SharePoint is able to "understand" that.

You can try 3rd party solutions like Encodian one: Get PDF Text Layer – Encodian Customer Help

Best Regards,

Sunshine Gu
