Extract text from PDF file

This step simply extracts all the text in a PDF file. Document Automation Server (DAS) Content Extraction is intelligent enough to detect image PDF pages and OCR before extracting any text from it. The only type of files we can’t extract meaningful text from by default are the ones with font encoding. We advise users to switch OCR for these file types.
