# Read PDF
|
||||
|
||||
The Read PDF node is used to read data from PDF documents and extract its content as text.
|
||||
|
||||
::: tip 💡 Keep in mind
|
||||
1. You will need to use an additional node such as the [Read Binary File](../../core-nodes/ReadBinaryFile/README.md) node or the [HTTP Request](../../core-nodes/HTTPRequest/README.md) node to pass the image file as a data property to the Read PDF node.
|
||||
:::
|
||||
|
||||
## Node Reference
|
||||
|
||||
The Read PDF node has one property:
|
||||
|
||||
1. *Binary Property* field: This is a text field used to specify the name of the data property used to read the PDF file in n8n.
|
||||
|
||||
## Example Usage
|
||||
|
||||
This workflow allows you to read a PDF file using the Read PDF node. You can also find the [workflow](https://n8n.io/workflows/585) on the website. This example usage workflow would use the following three nodes.
|
||||
- [Start](../../core-nodes/Start/README.md)
|
||||
- [Read Binary File](../../core-nodes/ReadBinaryFile/README.md)
|
||||
- [PDF Read]()
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The final workflow should look like the following image.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Start node
|
||||
|
||||
The start node exists by default when you create a new workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Read Binary File
|
||||
1. Enter the path to the PDF file you want to read in the *File Path* field.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Read PDF node
|
||||
|
||||
1. Enter the *Property Name* you used in the previous node in the *Binary Property* field.
|
||||
2. Click on *Execute Node* to run the workflow.
