Workflow Overview

5. 5
• Text Extraction from Native PDF
• Extract text from Sample PDF:
- Utilize the "Extract PDF text" activity to extract text from the provided PDF file
- Store the extracted text in a variable named "SamplePDFText".
• Write extracted text from Sample PDF to storage:
- Use the "Write Storage Text" activity to save the extracted text to a file.
- File Path*: Specify a file path with a ".txt" extension, such as "SamplePdf.txt."
• If the file already exists, the extracted text will be written to it. If not, a new text file will be created in the
specified storage bucket, and the extracted text will be written into it
• Activities:
- Extract PDF text: This activity is used to extract text from the PDF file.
- Write Storage Text: This activity writes the extracted text to a file in the specified storage bucket.

6. 6
• Text Extraction from Scanned PDF using OCR
• Extract text from Scanned PDF:
- Use the "Extract PDF text" activity to retrieve text from the scanned PDF file named "Scanned.pdf".
- Toggle on the option to apply OCR to extract text from images within the PDF.
- Store the OCR-extracted text in a variable named "ScannedPDFText".
• Write extracted text to storage:
- Use the "Write Storage Text" activity to save the OCR-extracted text to a file.
- File Path*: Specify a file path with a ".txt" extension, such as "ScannedPdf.txt."
• If the file already exists, the extracted text will be written to it. If not, a new text file will be created in the
specified storage bucket, and the OCR-extracted text will be written into it
• Activities:
- Extract PDF text: This activity retrieves text from the PDF file, including text from images using OCR.
- Apply OCR: This option is toggled on to extract text from images within the PDF.
- Write Storage Text: This activity saves the OCR-extracted text to a file in the specified storage bucket

7. 7
• PDF Page Count
• Get total number of pages in PDF:
- Utilize the "Get PDF Page Count" activity to retrieve the total page count of the PDF.
• PDF file *: Specify the PDF file from which you want to obtain the page count (e.g., SamplePDF).
• The page count will be stored in the autogenerated variable "Page Count".
• Log PDF Page Count
- Use the "Log Message" activity to log the total page count.
• Message: "Total Pages in "+SamplePDFfile.FullName+" is "+pageCount.ToString
• Activities:
- Get PDF Page Count: This activity retrieves the total number of pages in the specified PDF document and stores it
in a variable.
- Log Message: Logs the total page count for reference or debugging purposes, indicating the PDF file name and its
total page count..

8. 8
• Image Extraction from PDF
• Extract images from PDF:
- Use the "Extract PDF Images" activity to extract images from the PDF.
• Create a new variable named "ExtractedPDFImages" to store the extracted images for better understanding and
clarity.
• This activity will generate an autogenerated variable to hold the extracted images, but creating a new variable
with a proper naming convention enhances understanding.
• Upload Each Extracted Image to PDF Outputs bucket
- Utilize a "For Each" activity to iterate through each extracted image.
• The autogenerated variable "CurrentItem" holds the current image being processed.
- Inside For Each Loop
• Use the "Upload Storage File" activity to upload each image file to the "PDF Outputs" bucket.
• Activities:
- Extract PDF Images: Extracts images from the PDF document
- For Each: To iterate through each image file from the variable storing the extracted images
- Upload Storage File: Uploads each extracted image to the specified storage bucket

9. 9
• Page Range Extraction
• Extract specific page range from PDF:
- Utilize the "Extract PDF Page Range" activity to generate a new PDF with specified page ranges
• Provide the original PDF file from which the new PDF will be generated.
• Specify the page range to extract (e.g., "1,3-5" to extract pages 1, 3, 4, and 5)
• Create a new variable named "ExtractedPDFPageRange" to store the newly generated PDF for clarity.
• This activity will generate an autogenerated variable to hold the newly exported PDF, but creating a new
variable with a proper naming convention enhances understanding.
• Upload Newly Generated PDF:
- Upload the newly generated PDF to the "PDF Outputs" bucket.
• Specify the file to be uploaded as the "ExtractedPDFPageRange" variable.
• Define the path where you want to upload the file in the storage bucket as "PDFByRange.pdf".
• Activities:
- Extract PDF Page Range: This activity extracts a specified page range from the PDF and creates a new PDF
file.

• Provide the original PDF file from which the new Password Protected PDF will be generated
• In Show Additional Options in New open password, specify the password (Ex: 123456)
• Create a new variable named "PasswordProtectedPDF" to store the newly generated PDF for clarity.
• This activity will generate an autogenerated variable to hold the newly generated PDF, but creating a
new variable with a proper naming convention enhances understanding.
• Upload the password protected PDF
- Use Upload Storage File activity to upload the password-protected PDF to the PDF Outputs bucket.
• Specify the file to be uploaded as the "PasswordProtectedPDF" variable.
• Define the path where you want to upload the file in the storage bucket as "PasswordProtectedPDF.pdf"
• Activities:
- Set PDF Password: This activity encrypts the specified PDF file with a password.
- Upload Storage File: This activity uploads the generated PDF to the specified storage bucket.

• Merge PDF Files
• Merge Mutiple PDF Files
- Utilize the "Merge PDF" activity to merge the "Sample PDF" and "Scanned PDF" into a single PDF.
- In the connection builder, add multiple PDF files to generate the new merged PDF by merging the original
files.
• Create a new variable named "MergedPDF" to store the newly generated PDF for clarity.
• This activity will generate an autogenerated variable to hold the newly generated PDF, but creating
a new variable with a proper naming convention enhances understanding.
• Upload the merged PDF
- Use Upload Storage File activity to upload the merged PDF to the PDF Outputs bucket.
• Specify the file to be uploaded as the "MergedPDF" variable.
