Double-check that the Folder in the Google Drive node is correct.\n    2. Ensure your n8n Google credential has permission to view files in that folder.\n    3. Verify the files actually have a .pdf extension.\n\n- **\"Code node throws an error\":**\n  - Open the Code node and check the browser's developer console for JavaScript syntax errors. Make sure the input path to your text (items[0].json.text), matches what the Extract From File node is providing.\n\n- **Debug Checklist:**\n[ ] Are your Google Drive credentials valid? Try reconnecting them.\n[ ] Did you select the correct folder in the first Google Drive node?\n[ ] Does the output of the Extract From File node show the text you expect?\n[ ] Is the Code node correctly referencing the input data from the previous node?"

Configure the Code Node (Data Parser & Cleaner)** ✨\nThis is where you define your custom cleaning rules.\n- Open the Code node to view the JavaScript editor.\n- The raw text from the PDF will be available as input (e.g., items[0].json.text).\n- Modify the JavaScript code to perform your desired cleaning. This could be as simple as trimming whitespace or as complex as using regular expressions to find specific data.\n---\n---\n---\n\n### **6. Test Your Workflow!** ✅\nNow let's see it in action.\n1.

FORMATTING STAGE (Data Parsing & Cleaning)**\n- The raw text is passed to the Code node.\n- This is where the magic happens! A custom JavaScript script cleans the text by removing unwanted lines, fixing spacing, or even restructuring it into a clean JSON format. The output is ready for use."
