Parse a document with a PDF4me configuration identified by Parse ID. Provide the file as incoming binary data, a base64 string, or a URL; choose JSON output for parsed data or Text File to return it as a file.

Inputs

  • Input Data Type (required) — Choose Binary Data, Base64 String, or URL as the document source.
  • Input Binary Field (required) — For Binary Data, the incoming binary property name; defaults to data.
  • Base64 Document Content (required) — For Base64 String, the document content encoded as base64.
  • Document URL (required) — For URL, the address of the document to parse.
  • Document Name (required) — Source document name for reference; defaults to document.pdf.
  • Parse ID (required) — GUID of the parse configuration to use; also used as the Template ID.
  • Output Format — Choose JSON (default) or Text File.
  • Output File Name — Name of the output file when Text File format is selected; defaults to parsed_document.txt.
  • Custom Profiles — Optional profile settings as JSON to adjust extra API properties.
  • Binary Data Output Name — Name for binary data in the n8n output; defaults to data.

Output shape

Not determined from the supplied source pack, which contains only the operation function signature.

The UI declares JSON parsed data or a text file as output formats, but the implementation body needed to confirm the returned item and binary field shape is omitted.
