Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary function of the "Extract Pages From PDF (CustomJS)" node?

This node allows users to programmatically define which pages within a source PDF should be extracted and saved as a new file. It typically processes data initiated by a workflow trigger.

What type of input data does this node require to function properly?

It requires the source PDF file to be present as binary data within the incoming n8n item. This data usually originates from previous nodes or Integrations within the workflow.

How do I specify the pages I want to extract using the CustomJS feature?

The CustomJS functionality provides a JavaScript environment where you write logic (e.g., specifying page numbers, ranges, or conditional extraction) to determine the output pages for the node.

Can the extracted pages be used in subsequent PDF manipulation Integrations?

Yes, the output of this node is a new binary file containing only the extracted pages, which can then be passed to other nodes for merging, converting, or further processing in the workflow.

How does this node handle errors during the extraction process?

Like other nodes in n8n, extraction errors (e.g., invalid file input) will halt the workflow unless proper error handling is configured to manage the failure immediately after the trigger or before this processing step.
