Only process PDF attachment

I have this flow that can only process 1 PDF attachment. At this point in the flow, I've already checked if it has an attachment and if there are more than 1 PDF attachment. The last check I'm doing is to process if the attachment is a PDF or not, the first one, but in the following example, the email had a PDF attachment, but the Get Attachments V2 listed the email background and the signature logo, both IsInline: True as first and second, so my flow condition saw jpeg and the condition result was false and it shouldn't have been (because the only true attachment WAS a PDF). I only want the Get Attachments to get the actual attachments and not IsInline. Any support is appreciated. Thank you!

@Srini007 @ManishSolanki So, I have another filter array to begin the whole thing to only get PDF attachments (below) that reads like this: @And(equals(item()?['isInline'], false),endswith(item()?['name'], '.pdf')) that I reference in another condition by using: length(body('Filter_array')). Could I use the filter array body to check if the true attachment is a pdf? (I think I can, but wondered what you think?) So, in Get Attachment (V2) 2, for Attachment ID, could I use the length(body('Filter_array')) and if it fails, send an email person saying, 'you need to do different' and if it succeeds, continue with the rest of my flow?
