Scraping Word Docs and PDFs for Names and Emails with Clay

Hey guys, I have plenty of Word Docs and PDF's with names and email addresses. Is there a way to get the scraped by clay? Storing them on a drive and making that open for everyone and putting the links into Clay doesn't work...

I was looking into something like this, it appears not. And even if you could scrape, the cell limit is only 8000 characters per cell. There are other tools that can do this though.

Hey Jeremy! 😊 I'd love to hear more about your use case and goals to better assist you! Are you referring to lead lists stored in Word docs and PDFs, or are you looking to extract specific information from the list? For the former scenario, running a local script to extract those lead lists would be the most efficient method. Another easier option is to try uploading those files to Chatgpt and requesting them to be returned as a CSV file. If you need any more help or have any other questions, feel free to reach out! 😊 Have a fantastic Monday! Daniel
