Extract data from the PDF file

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi all, I am new to the power automate. I am working on a scenario where I need to extract the data from a PDF document that contains 15 to 20 pages. Each page contains the same kind of structured data. Can anyone help me with how to extract those data from the PDF file?

    You can also now try this…

     

    This template processes any document just using the less expensive image recognition AI Builder service & GPT.

    It seems much less expensive with a much lower barrier to entry only requiring a premium Power Automate license with 5000 AI Builder credits per month & some on-going LLM / GPT costs…

    If I’m looking at this right, this method should cost

    Image recognition +.0017

    GPT prompt & output +.007

    Flow actions +.00375

    So about $ .013 per page.

    Less expensive than any of the other microsoft document/receipt/invoice processing options. And several of those take about 30 seconds to run.
    And the 5000 AI Builder credits that come with the now $15 premium Power Automate license is enough for 1500 Image recognition pages. So you could probably process 500-750 documents per month with just 1 premium Power Automate license.
