Inputs

  • Tool Category — Selects the group of tools shown; defaults to 'Documents' for PDF and document conversions.
  • Binary Property (required) — Specifies the binary property name from each input item to read the PDF file from; defaults to 'data'.
  • Max Input Size Bytes — Maximum allowed size in bytes for the input binary data to process per item; defaults to 25000000.
  • Output JSON Property — Specifies the JSON property name to store the resulting extracted text from the PDF; defaults to 'pdfText'.

Output shape

JSON object per input item containing the extracted PDF text under the specified output property.

Processes each input item individually, reading the PDF binary from the named binary property. Extracted text is stored in the JSON property named by the 'Output JSON Property' parameter. Input binaries larger than the max input size cause an error. Results are returned in standard n8n node output item format.

Examples
