I have invoices in a folder in Google Drive, have the link in a column in a Glide Table and I am trying to pull the text from the file into the adjacent column using Document to Text. I’ve tried 3 different links to the same invoice, adjusted permissions, and all just return the file name and not the text in the file. Hoping someone can help me resolve. Thanks!

What type of document is it? Have you tried uploading the file directly to Glide?

Thanks, Jeff. It’s a pdf. I’ve moved on to uploading the docs to Glide via File Picker and it works now.
