Scraping PDF for Contacts: GPT vs. Instant Data Scraper

Does anyone know of a way to scrape a PDF to get contacts from it? Can I use GPT for this? Just wondering if there is a solution. I know instant data scraper, but I don't think that will work with a PDF.

Ok, Dominick C. do you want to get the contacts extract one time or you want to add it to a clay flow? If its one time, I can help you extract contacts.

It would be a clay flow likely but also good to have it in the arsenal

Hi Dominick C., sorry for the delay here! We are actually in the process of integrating a pdf scraping provider into Clay - don't have an exact ETA on this but it should be done soon!

In the meantime, if you're able to find an external pdf scraper (examples are Reducto or Unstructured), you can pull them into Clay using the HTTP API function.

We'll hopefully have it available on Clay soon!
