oh man yeah pdfs are a pain in make.com. it totally depends on how the pdf was made. is it actual text or scanned images? if it's scanned you'll definitely need an ocr step. i've had some luck with the google cloud vision module but it costs credits. if it's native text, sometimes the text parser module works but you gotta get the regex just right.

Yes, AI can read PDFs in Make.com. By integrating AI tools like OpenAI or OCR services, it extracts text, analyzes content, and automates workflows such as summarizing, data entry, or document processing from uploaded PDF files.
