How to Use:
Setup:
Install the plugin and add the action “convertPDFtoText” to your workflow.
PDF Selection:
Configure the action by supplying the URL of the PDF file you wish to convert.
Execution:
Run the workflow, and the action will extract the text from the PDF.
Result Retrieval:
Access the extracted text in a text format, which you can then display, store, or further manipulate within your Bubble.io app.
Version 2.0 notes:
The plugin now features an error field which is empty when no error is encountered, though if the plugin encounters an error when processing the pdf file, the error message is returned in this field.

This plugin can handle the raw urls delivered from a fileuploader in Bubble. So you can send fileUploaderA's.value's.URL and the plugin will check for the complete https: structure on the URL.
This action is designed for textual content and will not handle images or complex vector graphics embedded within the PDF.
The accuracy of formatting preservation can vary massively depending on the complexity and design of the original PDF.
Text extraction is based on the Y coordinate spacing for line detection; intricate layouts with multiple columns or non-standard spacing may not translate perfectly.
Bubble.io Integration Benefits:
Seamlessly integrate with other Bubble.io features and plugins for further processing, such as database operations, text manipulation, or sending extracted content via email or to external APIs. Enhance your app’s document-handling capabilities with minimal effort and no need for advanced coding skills.
