PDF.co is a set of tools that makes it easier to work with PDF files by providing editing, converting, and managing capabilities without slowing down business processes. It can extract information from PDFs and other file types, allowing users to automate workflows and tasks. The solution involves creating Zaps using PDF.co to automatically extract data whenever a new PDF is added to a Google Drive folder or connected to other file management tools through Zapier. This automates the process of copying and pasting data, reducing the time spent on manual work and increasing productivity.
