Hello,

I Am trying to make a flow that will take the PDF placed in a folder on SharePoint , then OCR the PDF to make the text searchable .And I didn't find any specific connectors for OCR on automate.

I found two models ,one of which requires an API ,and the other one with the help of Adobe , makes the PDF file textually searchable .

I wanted to know if there is a way to integrate OCR into my workflow for free.

Re: Optical character recognition

The $15/mo power automate premium license should give 5000 per month AI builder credits for the Recognize text in an image or PDF action which should be like 500 pages per month.

You could use a part of this template to get a text extract of each page: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Automate-Cookbook/Extract-Data-From-PDFs-and-Images-With-GPT/td-p/2201345

For free? Not at this time at least that I have found. There are multiple third-party solutions, with YouTube instructional videos. These require a monthly or yearly subscription per page of use.
