OCR PDFs in SharePoint to make searchable

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 22

Hello I am trying to make a flow that will take PDFs placed in a folder in Sharepoint, then OCR the PDF to make the text within the PDF searchable. Then move that newly OCRed PDF into a new folder within the same Sharepoint site.

 

I have tried using Computer Vision, but that seems more for images. I also tried the text recognizer in the AI Builder. I can get the flow to run but I cannot figure out how to move the file once it has been OCRed. I can see the PDF leave and go back into the original folder, but the PDFs are no searchable.

 

Mainly this is going to be for packing slips. These packing slips will be scanned directly into SharePoint in a PDF format. From there I need to OCR each PDF so the text within the PDF is searchable in the SharePoint site.
