I have requirement, to send a newsletter, for external customers.
we have publications in targeted communication module.
when we attach a PDF to publications, we need the information of that pdf in our publication content. How can we achieve this?

 

for example, we have PUB0001011, in that we have attached newsletter_march.pdf file, we need that pdf information into our publication content.

@AleshKumarK 

there is no out of the box API which can read PDF content and extract it

hence your requirement is not directly feasible

You can try custom solution using mid server which extracts PDF content but it's too complicated and difficult to maintain and leads to technical debt for your platform

instead of converting we have to show content of PDF in mail body or content of publications, rather than attachment
