Hello Everyone!


I need to run a task that will search for a specific TERM in one of the PDF files which is located on Google Drive. What's the best way to so?


Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your answers @AndrewJDavison_Luhhu and @Danvers ! I know it could be done with these apps, but I wanted to see if anyone else knows how it could be done without use of third party apps. I noticed Zapier has option to use Python code, could that be done if I hire Python developer to write required code for this task?

Hi @MrWonderful! The only way to search through a pdf would be if you were using an app that could 'parse' the pdf, like Parseur or Docparser. It's not possible to do it straight from Google Drive, sorry!

Hi @MrWonderful

Welcome!

Sadly, this isn't something you're going to be able to do with Zapier I'm afraid.
