How to deal "Extract File" node with multiple files

Describe the problem/error/question

I am sending pdf files through the chat trigger to extract relevant information from it. I dont know how to handle the “extract file” node if I want to pass multiple items through it (in this case: data0, data1).

What is the error message (if any)?

Currently I get the following error when I try to run it: “Problem in node ‘Extract from File‘

The item has no binary field ‘$binary’ [item 0]”

Please share your workflow

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: 1.115.3 (Self Hosted)
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): self-hosted Docker
  • Operating system:

It should fill data0 , data1, data2

So I modify the workflow a bit.

You can give it a try.
