Properties¶
| Property | Description |
|---|---|

| Filename | The filename of the file to perform OCR on, it must be uploaded to the stage prior to performing OCR. FlowFile attributes may be referenced via Expression Language. |
| Max Attribute Size | The maximum size of the OCR results that can be written to an attribute. If the OCR results exceed this, the FlowFile will be routed to failure. |

| Stage | The Snowflake stage where PDFs will be temporarily stored. The stage must have server-side encryption enabled. FlowFile attributes may be referenced via Expression Language |
Relationships¶
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| empty | FlowFiles for which OCR results are empty |
| failure | FlowFiles that cannot be processed are routed to this relationship |
| success | FlowFiles that are successfully processed (with non-empty OCR results) are routed to this relationship |
