Description

What it does This component provides a convenient way to convert your document files into plain text. By using this feature, you can easily extract the textual content from complex file formats, making it accessible for further processing, analysis or integration into other applications. This can be particularly useful for tasks like data mining, text analysis and content management where having the text in a simple editable format is essential.

The Document to plain text component has the identifier of dtt-X, where X represents the instance number of the Document to plain text component.

When to use it? Use this node when you have documents with important information, and you want to extract the text from them for further processing. For example, if you have a PDF contract and want to analyze the text content, this node will be helpful.

Enable caching

This option determines whether the results of the component are cached. This means that on the next run of the Flow, Diaflow will utilize the previous computed component output, as long as the inputs have not changed.

Caching time

Only applicable if the "Enable Caching" option has been enabled. This parameter controls how long Diaflow will wait before automatically clearing the cache.

Use case
