Extract invoice data from PDFs to JSON with Gemini AI and XML transformation

This n8n workflow converts invoices in PDF format into a structured, ready-to-use JSON, using AI and XML transformation — without writing any code. 🚀 How it works 1. Upload form → The user uploads a PDF file. 2. Text extraction → The PDF content is extracted as plain text. 3. XML schema definition → A standard invoice structure is defined with fields such as: Invoice number Customer and issuer details Items with description, quantity, and price Totals and taxes Bank account details 4. AI (Gemini) → The model rewrites the PDF text into a valid XML following the predefined schema. 5. XML cleanup → Removes extra tags, line breaks, and unnecessary formatting. 6. JSON conversion → The XML is transformed into a clean, structured JSON object, ready for integrations, APIs, or storage. ✨ Benefits Transforms unstructured PDFs into normalized JSON data. No coding required, only n8n nodes. Scalable to different invoice formats with minimal adjustments. Leverages AI to interpret complex textual content. 🛠️ Use cases Automating invoice data capture. Integration with ERPs, CRMs, or databases. Generating financial reports from PDFs.
