Stirling PDFInstall

Summary

Extract header information from a PDF file provided by file ID or from binary file input within the workflow.

Inputs

• File Id — Identifier of the PDF file to extract header information from.
• Input Binary Field Name (File Input) — Name of the binary property containing the PDF file data for extraction; defaults to 'data'.
• Request Options — Settings to control batching of requests, SSL validation, proxy configuration, and request timeout.

Output shape

a JSON object containing the extracted header information from the PDF file

If both File Id and binary input are provided, the node uses the specified input accordingly. The response structure contains parsed metadata from the PDF header. Request options allow throttling, insecure SSL acceptance, proxies, and timeout settings.

Examples

Example 1: Extract header from a PDF uploaded as binary input named 'data'

Set 'Input Binary Field Name (File Input)' to 'data' (default); do not specify 'File Id'.

Example 2: Extract header from a PDF by specifying its file ID

Provide the 'File Id' parameter with the target PDF's identifier; omit the binary input.
