    Thanks @trice602 . I must be doing something wrong because the text which is being recognised is still metadata and not the actual file content. I tried adding both 'compose outputs' and 'recognise text body' in the content of Parse JSON:

    Hi @glendayrlsbu1 ,

     

    After you have processed your data, you have to use Parse JSON to turn the values into selectable dynamic content.  Here's an example from one of my runs.  When you use Parse JSON, you will take the output from your Recognize text and click on "Generate from Sample" button, paste in there and save/ok.  This will create a scheme for you.
