    You will have to use AI builder to extract text from PDFs. Do you have premium license for the account using which you create flows?

    You will need to purchase a subscription to use it, but Encodian has a PDF - Apply OCR action that we use for this purpose that works quite well. You can get information at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/encodianpdf/#pdf---apply-ocr-(standard). If I remember correctly, it consumes 1 credit per page converted. It allows you to set the start and end range or choose specific pages if you don't need the entire PDF converted.
