I have a weird flow that i’m trying to build. I’m converting pdf to docs to gsheets. I have successfully moved from pdf to docs but now trying to figure out how to copy the table that is in docs to gsheets. is it possible? 

i know i can do it from pdf to xls via pdf.co but call me cheap, don’t want to spend more money elsewhere. 

I’ve also tried searching the forums but didn’t find anything similar

This is how it looks like.

@sigmacreed if you don’t want to pay for any external tools, you may have to try google apps script (with some javascript code) to get it done.

I just want to see if there is an alternative way to do this. Manually, i just have to copy the table from docs and paste it on sheets. Not sure if Zapier can do that

Hi @sigmacreed 

 

We apologize, but any triggers for Google Docs don’t return table content as mappable data for Google Sheets. You may need to use external tools such as PDF.Co to convert PDF to .xls
 
We hope that clears up your query regarding building your Zap.
