OCR Workflow in n8n: Getting Only URLs Instead of Formatted Text Output

I’ve created an n8n workflow for OCR processing of documents, but I’m experiencing an issue with the output format. After successfully running OCR on my files, I’m only receiving URLs to the processed content rather than the actual text in RTF or another formatted output.

Current workflow setup:

1. Document input/upload
2. OCR processing
3. Output generation

Current result: Only receiving links/URLs to the processed content
Expected result: Actual text content in RTF or similar formatted output

Has anyone encountered this issue before? I’d appreciate guidance on which nodes or configuration changes I should implement to extract the actual text content from my OCR results rather than just receiving links.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)

Share the output returned by the last node

Can’t you request the file with the URL and an HTTP node? I guess they store it in S3 and give you a signed URL after.
