Use extract Text block.Set the (file name) to the pdf path, and set (to) to the path the output will be save to.It will be save as txt file so you can read it using the file component :wink:

As i understand from the error,There isn’t such file.What about trying with a normal path?And saving also in the sdcard directory.

I have tried those blocks too.

First, directories aren’t created immediatly.You need to put this block in Directory created event
Second.Try to use the normal sdcard path just for test.

So what path should I put?

#11

Try /storage/emulated/0/myfile.pdf

#12

The same error :cry::cry:

That’s strange:thinking: You can ask the developer on the thunkable community,or here if you want.Probably it’s a problem in your path as i think,i’ve used this extension very long ago, and ofc i can’t remember now how i’ve used :joy:
