How to create knowledge articles from PDF content? (PDF not as attachment)

Hi all,

 

How to parse the contents from a PDF and create articles from it? Is it possible?

NOTE - The requirement is not to attach the PDF into the article.

 

Regards,

Anish

Anyone referring to this thread - the answer to this question is probably this, will have to try and confirm, but most likely I believe I got the answer - PDF to KB article 

 

Thanks Lauren, great help!

Oooo! Good solution! I thought the Document Viewer plugin did something else. But this is great! Would love to get more details of how this works on a large scale. Thanks, Anish!

For anyone still dealing with this challenge, we built Docuimport specifically to solve PDF-to-KB article conversion with proper formatting preservation.

 

It parses PDF content and creates knowledge articles with:

  • Structured, editable content (not attachments)

  • Support for images and tables

  • Also works with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files

Quick demo here: https://youtu.be/wcgr0hPn0X8

 

Hope this helps!
