PDF: Read lines

PDF: Read lines

Reads a PDF document and returns its content split into lines, based on a configurable line height. It lets you process the PDF text line by line.


Options​

Path to model​

Enter the full path of the PDF file to read. Example: C:\Desktop\documento.pdf.

Row height in pixels​

Enter the height in pixels that defines how text lines are grouped in the document. This value determines how the text is split into lines while reading.

Returns​

Javascript code​

js
actions["action-id"].lines    // lines of the document (List)
actions["action-id"].content  // full content of the document (Text)

Field selection​

  • lines — lines of the document (List)
  • content — full content of the document (Text)

Rules and Conditions​

  • The Path to model field is required.
  • The line height value affects the precision of the text split — adjust it to the PDF.
  • Image-based PDFs need OCR for text extraction; this action works with PDFs that contain native text.
