Upload Document
Uploading a document works in two steps. When you click the Upload Document button, you are presented with a file selector to select a local document for upload. Some supported files are .docx, .doc, .pdf, .txt, .csv, .json, and .xlsx.
mAIstro will automatically run OCR processing if a PDF is uploaded, but returns no text contents.
After the document is successfully uploaded, it is available in the Upload Document pane:
The uploaded document can then be used with the following syntax:
{{ doc|name:output.csv }}
Parameters
- File Upload: The file to be processed.
Returns
- The plain text of the document. If an image-based PDF is uploaded, returning no text from the scraper, we will automatically return OCR'd text from the document.
