PDFBox nodes (8)

These are the node IDs an agentic flow or an RPA bot uses, exactly as they appear in the Flow Designer and in flow code.

Platforms

The PDFBox package runs on Windows, macOS and Linux robots. Any Robomotion robot on these operating systems can run a flow that uses it.

How to install the PDFBox package

1. Open Packages in the Robomotion Flow Designer.
2. Search for PDFBox or Robomotion.PDFBox, then click Install on its card.
3. The PDFBox nodes appear in the node palette for everyone in the workspace, because installation is per workspace.

From a terminal, the Robomotion CLI installs the same package:

robomotion install Robomotion.PDFBox

Templates that use PDFBox

6 ready-made templates use PDFBox nodes in their flows. Open one to start from a working flow.

• Create PDF from Selected Pages

  Pulls a chosen range of pages from a source PDF and writes them to a new document. Useful for trimming or sharing parts of a report.

• Get Images from PDF

  Extracts every embedded image from a PDF file into a target directory. Useful for downstream OCR or asset recovery.

• Get Number of Pages in a PDF

  Reports the page count of a PDF file as a single number. A small utility that feeds splitters, paginators, and dashboards.

• Split PDF by Half

  Calculates a midpoint and splits a PDF into two evenly-sized halves. Demonstrates arithmetic on page counts feeding a splitter.

• Split PDF by Specified Page

  Splits a PDF into two files at a user-specified page number. Ideal when you know exactly where a document should be divided.

• Split PDF into Parts

  Divides a PDF into N equal-sized slices and writes each part out as its own file. A general-purpose chunker for large documents.
