Hey Gliders! 👋

I’m building an app to extract data from an eVisa and save it as a record. Quick question: The eVisa includes a photo of the worker. Is there a way to extract that photo from the PDF or image and automatically place it into a column?

Would appreciate any guidance or ideas!

Did you try AI component? It is amazing what it can do.

You can do awesome stuff with AI Component to execute actions on data and return back into another column. Just ask the AI Component what you need. Try it first, and show me what you got! 🙂

I would be surprised if it can properly save the image, assuming if it can extract it.

Glide doesn’t have a public API to upload images to their storage, so if it has to be done, I guess it might be in some kind of data URI.
