Turn a PDF into Text

[Edward Halliday]

I am looking to turn a pdf into text in ServiceNow. 

I have looked into document intelligence but it appear to be for pulling specific fields out of a PDF. I just want all the text in the PDF provided in a string. 

Does anyone know how to do this? Is there some sort of PDF parser utility?

Hi @jonsan09 , you've brought up a very good point. But key limitation of Document Intelligence is that it only processes the first 25 pages of a document. If you need to extract data from a document longer than that, we may need to consider an alternative approach.

Additionally, we've found that Document Intelligence can have issues with extracting long text into a single field, and there's also a limit on the number of keys we can define for extraction.
