Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring PDF.co, OCR Space, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.

Test the Scenario

Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the PDF.co and OCR Space integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between PDF.co and OCR Space (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.

Most powerful ways to connect PDF.co and OCR Space

PDF.co + OCR Space + Google Sheets: Extracts data from scanned invoices and receipts using OCR Space, uses PDF.co to parse specific invoice details like amounts and dates, and then organizes the extracted information in a Google Sheet for expense tracking.

OCR Space + PDF.co + Airtable: Extracts text from PDF documents using OCR Space. Subsequently, it validates and parses specific data points from the extracted text using PDF.co's tools, and then stores the validated and structured data in Airtable for creating searchable document management.
