PDF Contains Text

Type: pdf-contains-text · Package: PDF Activities v1.0.0 · Output: boolean

Checks if the PDF contains text on any of its pages and returns true or false. Useful for classifying documents quickly: is it an invoice? Does it include a certain clause? Does it mention a client?

How it works

Look for text throughout the document. By default the search is case insensitive (caseSensitive = false). Returns true as soon as it is found.

Required parameters

Parameter	Editor	Description
`path`	expression	PDF file path.
`text`	expression	Texto a buscar.

Optional parameters

Parameter	Editor	Description
`caseSensitive`	boolean	Be case sensitive. By default `false`.

Output

Returns a boolean: true if the text appears in the document.

Example

Classify a PDF according to its content:

PDF Contains Text   path = = ruta   text = "FACTURA ELECTRÓNICA"   → output: esFactura
If   condition = = esFactura
 └─ then:
      Move File   source = = ruta   destination = = pathJoin("C:/facturas", fileName(ruta))

PDF Search Text — return the pages where it appears.
PDF Get Text — extract all text for analysis.
