Different Way to Extract a String a Rich Text File?

Toa_Lihkan

Greetings,

I am currently trying to find a way to get the contents of a Rich Text File as a string in Decisions. I tried the RTF to HTML step, but the output it gave me was weird and not what I was expecting. If there a different way to do this?

Hello!

You can get the text from an RTF document by first using a Convert Document step, setting the ConvertFromType to Word and ConvertToType to PDF in the properties, as shown below:

Then, add a Recognize Text from PDF step and pass-in the newly-converted PDF document from the Convert Document step's output.

Documentation for both steps can be found here:
