Only PDF attachments from Gmail

Hello
I built a flow that uploads PDF attachments from a specific folder in Gmail to GOOGLE DRIVE. The problem is that every email with PDF attachments that arrives in this Gmail folder also contains another file, which is a signature file and is not a PDF and is also uploaded to DRIVE. I really don't want the signature files to be uploaded, I only want the PDF files to be uploaded. Where and how do I define this in the flow building process?
 
Thanks

    Have you tried using a filter on the attachments property?  You could filter on item()?['ContentType'] contains pdf, or item()?['Name'] ends with .pdf

    E.g.
