Make PDF text available as HTML for new issue review
When a new issue points to a relevant PDF, convert it to HTML for a review flow that can use the converted content.
Trigger
New Issue
Fires when a new issue is created in the Jira project you configure. Only issues created in that project produce an event.
Action
LibreOffice PDF to HTML
Tool to convert a pdf document to html using libreoffice. use when you need html output of a pdf file (experimental; images may be excluded).
Why this helps
PDFs can be awkward to reuse in text based review processes, adding extra steps to issue triage.
- Produce HTML output from an accessible PDF
- Support text oriented review workflows
- Tie conversion to issue intake
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Api2pdf once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, identify the accessible PDF for the new issue and ask for HTML conversion for your stated review use.
- 4Select Jira New Issue as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real issue and a PDF whose text output you can inspect.
Questions about this workflow
Will every PDF element appear in the HTML?
The listed conversion is experimental, and images may be excluded.
Does the New Issue event guarantee a PDF is present?
No. The PDF reference must be accessible to the automation.
Can this replace a document management system?
The action converts one PDF to HTML. It does not describe storage or document management features.
