output :
Can anyone help me how to get proper readable PDF content from email attachment ?
@Sudharani007 ,
Use the Get file content or Get File content by path actions to read the file.
@SudeepGhatakNZ Thanks for quick reply, it doesn't help
@Sudharani007 , there are several formats you can convert a PDF into but I not sure if you can extract only the text part and ignore the metadata (formatting, etc), given that PDF captures more info than just a plain text.
Are you able to shed some light on your use case?
@AlexEncodian , is there an Encodian action that can achieve this?
@SudeepGhatakNZ I just want to get the PDF content and store it into a string variable.
It is simple use case. I am ok with all content metadata etc, but content should be human readable , same as we can read the content when open the sample PDF i have attached. Right now the content encoded like "
"
Is Encodian free to use ? I see it is asking for API key.
