How to convert a pdf to HTML or searchable text from sharepoint

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by SharepointDeve 90

I have a sharepoint folder that I want to essentially convert PDFs into HTML documents so I can parse the data for specific text. Essentially I would need to look for Employee Name: Joe Schmoe, and extract the Joe Schmoe portion of it into a sharepoint list. What is the best way for getting the documents into searchable text? I have the premium flow on my development account, I just dont have the AI add on for Flow. We are getting the PDFs auto imported already from Docusign.

    Hi @SharepointDeve ,

     

    I would suggest looking into AI builder which will allow you to create and train a model to your PDFs.  You can then extract tabular data, key value pairs etc.  You can read more about it here.
