AI-generatedSummary
Converts a PDF to an editable PDF using OCR. Choose a PDF source, set OCR quality and whether to skip OCR for searchable text, and optionally set the language and output file details.
Inputs
- PDF Input Data Type (required) — Choose Binary Data, Base64 String, or URL. Binary Data reads the required PDF Binary Field (defaults to
data); Base64 String reads the required PDF Base64 Content; URL reads the required PDF URL. - Quality Type (required) — Choose Draft (described as suitable for normal PDFs and using 1 API call per file) or High (suitable for image-generated or scanned PDFs and using 2 API calls per page).
- OCR Only When Needed (required) — True skips recognition when text is already searchable; False always performs OCR.
- Language — Language of the source text; defaults to English. The UI says to use this only if the output is not recognizable.
- Output Format (required) — String field for the output format; defaults to
true. - Merge All Sheets — Whether to merge all sheets if applicable; defaults to true.
- Output File Name — Output editable PDF filename; defaults to
editable_pdf_output.pdf. - Binary Data Output Name — Name for the output binary property in n8n; defaults to
data.
Output shape
A PDF document as binary data in an n8n item.
The operation's source pack provides only a signature for its implementation, so response details beyond the binary PDF shape are not visible. The UI describes the result as an editable PDF.
