Plugin details

Welcome to PDF Textractor PRO! πŸ“„βœ¨ The ultimate, server-side PDF extraction engine designed specifically for Bubble developers building AI, RAG, and data processing applications.
The AI Token-Saver Advantage πŸ€–πŸ’°
Stop sending 100-page PDFs to OpenAI or Claude when you only need data from page 2! Sending massive files wastes thousands of tokens and costs you money. With PDF Textractor PRO, you can pinpoint the exact pages you need, extract the raw text, and fetch hidden metadata before making any AI API calls.

🌟 PRO Exclusive Features:

🎯 Smart Page Selection: Extract text from specific pages or ranges (e.g., "1", "1-3", "5, 8-10"). Perfect for ignoring useless index pages or terms & conditions!

πŸ“Š Metadata Extraction: Unlock hidden document data. Instantly retrieve the Page Count, Author, Creation Date, and PDF Title.

⚑ 100% Server-Side Engine: Processes complex PDFs in milliseconds in the background, keeping your frontend lightning-fast.

πŸ›‘οΈ Fail-Safe Logic: Built-in error handling prevents your Bubble workflows from crashing if a file is corrupted.

πŸ–₯️ Zero-WU Client-Side Extraction: Process massive 500-page documents in seconds for FREE. The new visual element runs entirely in the user's browser, saving your Bubble server capacity.

🧠 Hybrid Tesseract OCR: No more empty results from scanned invoices or photos! If the engine detects an image-based PDF, it automatically switches to Optical Character Recognition (AI) to read the pixels.

πŸ“° Force OCR for Complex Layouts: Dealing with complex 2-column scientific papers or magazines? Turn on Force OCR to let the AI segment the visual blocks and keep the reading order perfect.

πŸ“ Smart Layout Retention: Our native digital algorithm sorts text by exact X/Y coordinates and automatically merges broken hyphenated words to keep paragraphs clean.

πŸ“Š Live UI Feedback: The engine exposes real-time states like progress_percent and is_working so you can build beautiful, Netflix-style loading bars for your users.

Dual Architecture:
Includes both the Client-Side Engine (for zero-cost UI extractions) and the Server-Side Action (for backend workflows and webhooks).

πŸ“š Extract Multiple Documents (Batch Processing): Send a list of PDF URLs and the plugin will queue and process them one by one automatically! No more recursive workflows needed!

πŸ“Š Global Progress Tracking: Real-time updates for overall_progress_percent and current_file_index so your users know exactly how the bulk upload is going.

Stop listing PDFs as boring links. Start showing them as visual assets! πŸ“‚βœ¨
PDF Textractor V4 introduces the Thumbnail Generator, a high-performance client-side action that converts any PDF page into a high-quality Image (Base64).

Why you need this:

🎨 Visual Document Management: Show a "cover" of your invoices, contracts, or reports in your repeating groups.

⚑ Zero Server Costs: The conversion happens entirely in the user's browser using the existing pdf.js engine.

πŸš€ Instant Results: Generate a preview of Page 1 in milliseconds.

🧩 Perfect for Galleries: Output a clean Base64 string that plugs directly into any Bubble Image element.

Instructions

How to use PDF Textractor PRO in your workflows:
1. Set up your Workflow:

Trigger a backend or frontend workflow (e.g., after a user uploads a file using a File Uploader).

Go to Plugins > select Extract Text from PDF (PRO).

2. Configure the Inputs:

PDF URL: Insert the dynamic link to your file (e.g., FileUploader's value's URL).

Page Selection (Optional): Type the specific pages you want to extract.

Examples: "1" (Page 1 only), "1-5" (Pages 1 to 5), "1, 3, 5-7" (Pages 1, 3, 5, 6, and 7).

Leave this blank to extract the entire document.

3. Use the Extracted Data:

In your next workflow steps, you now have access to a wealth of data:

Result of step X's extracted_text: The clean text to send to ChatGPT/Claude.

Result of step X's page_count: Use this to set conditions (e.g., Only process if page_count < 20).

Result of step X's pdf_title & author: Perfect for automatically naming database entries.

4. Error Handling:

Always use Result of step X's is_success (yes/no) in an "Only When" condition to handle broken links gracefully.



How to use the new Client-Side Engine (Zero WUs):

Add the Engine: Drag and drop the PDF Textractor Engine visual element anywhere on your page (it will be invisible to users).

Trigger the Action: In your workflow (e.g., when a button is clicked), choose the element action: Extract Document (Client-Side).

Pass the File: Pass the URL of the PDF. Tip: To avoid browser security blocks (CORS), use files uploaded directly to your Bubble app via a File Uploader!

Build your UI: Use the engine's exposed states (like PDF Textractor Engine's progress_percent) to animate a loading bar or display a percentage text.

Get the Result: Add a workflow event for A PDF Textractor Engine - Extraction Finished. Inside this event, save or display the PDF Textractor Engine's extracted_text.


How to use Multiple PDF Extraction (Batch Processor - V3):

Trigger the action Extract Multiple Documents.

Provide a List of PDF URLs (e.g., Search for Invoices's File URL).

Bind a progress bar to the state overall_progress_percent. You can also display text like: "Processing file current_file_index of total_files".

Use the new event Batch Extraction Finished to save the state extracted_texts_list (List of Texts) to your database. The list matches the exact order of the URLs you provided!


How to generate instant PDF covers:

1. The Trigger

Use the action "Generate PDF Thumbnail" in your workflows (e.g., When Page is Loaded or When File is Uploaded).

2. Configuration

PDF URL: The URL of the file (Dynamic or Static).

Quality (Scale): Use 1.0 for standard thumbnails or 2.0 for high-resolution previews.

Page Number: Usually 1, but you can generate a thumbnail of any page in the document.

3. Displaying the Result

Create an Image element in Bubble.

Set the Dynamic Image source to: PDFTextractor's thumbnail_base64.

Pro tip: Use the event "A PDFTextractor Thumbnail is Generated" to show the image only after the process is complete.
