Q: Text extraction from PDF
Hi there. Does Albato offer a possibility to extract the text of a PDF file and use the text further down my workflow to parse desired parts of the text?

Thank you! I checked that out already, but Parseur is really expensive (39€ for 100 pages/month). In n8n I get the extraction for free. Is there any other way in Albato? Thanks
I see what you mean. Unfortunately, Albato can’t process files directly. We can only “receive” a file via its link and pass it on to another service that can handle files. But creating, downloading, or extracting files directly isn’t possible in Albato.
