How to connect PDF.co and OCR Space
Create a New Scenario to Connect PDF.co and OCR Space
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a PDF.co, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, PDF.co or OCR Space will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find PDF.co or OCR Space, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the PDF.co Node
Select the PDF.co node from the app selection panel on the right.

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.
