Can you do a search for keywords within a PDF?

Need help
1

I wanted to do a search for keywords within a PDF, is that possible with bubble?

or would I need an add-on that can read through PDFs
or turn each PDF file into text?

What do you guys/gals think?

@Ryan, there are probably several ways to do this, one of them is by using the plugin PDF.js Text Extraction. It is quite easy to do:

  1. For the example I added a file uploader to the page:

  1. After that, create a workflow like this:

  1. In the last image of step 2 use regex to check and/or extract data.

I found another tool that extracts PDFs to text as well
