Hello everyone!
in my scenarion i want to monitor my emails and get the order number, delivery note number or invoice number from the attached pdf files.
Since the emails are received in several formats and languages, I use mistral for categorization before the router.
Unfortunately, with the PDF.co (Parse a Document) module, I do not receive a suitable JSON OUTPUT so that Mistral can analyze the content and find the corresponding information.
Thank you in advance for your support!

Hello @Joachim_M_Vis ,
The module that I use to get information from PDF is Google Cloud Vision.
It works perfectly, as I also have a PDF document and I use it to read all the text in it and extract what I want from it
Here is also the full guide to integrating in Make.com: https://www.make.com/en/help/app/google-cloud-vision
I hope this answers your question 
Yes, this is the best approach.
PDFs are annoying to read programmatically. That’s also why a new EU law was recently passed that says that companies have to send electronic invoices which have a certain file format that is easy to read in make and all other programs.
One option is to use CloudConvert to convert to plain text, before using an AI Structured Output module to parse the details.
Another option is to use OpenAI Message an Assistant module, which allows for file (including PDF) upload.
You can also use DumplingAI to directly parse PDFs.
Try using the Dumpling AI “Extract data from PDF with AI” module:
Extract structured data from one or more PDF files with multimodal AI (10+ credits)
For more information, see https://www.make.com/en/integrations/dumplingai, and https://www.make.com/en/help/app/dumplingai in the help centre.
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

P.S.: Investing some effort into the Make Academy will save you lots of time and frustration using Make.
I have now used the AI invoice parster from PDF.co. But will try Google Cloud Vision as well.
Thanks for the support!
