How to extract text from multiple PDFs submitted via a form?

[InfraNodus]

I’m trying to upload multiple PDF files via an n8n form and then extract text from all of them. The combined text would then be submitted to another node.

However, I don’t seem to be able to do that.

When I use the scheme where I split out the inputs before sending them to File PDF convertor node, I actually get 3 arrays or 3 uploaded files each. Whereas I just need to reiterate through these files and have the final text combined from all of them.

Any idea how to do that?

Get idea from this post

Multiple binary data access filename

I used this to assign the filenames: The only problem is that the other json is lost (meaning only the binary is being outputted). So I think I have to use a Merge node? But then again the “duplicate incomplete json” would result

Here is the working workflow

Thank you! This worked like a charm!
