Hi @Ajay_Kumar.S,

You have a couple of options for importing documents depending on the version of Elasticsearch you are using:

1. [FSCrawler](https://github.com/dadoonet/fscrawler), noting to use the correct compatible version.
2. [Elasticsearch Ingest Attachment Processor](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.9/attachment.html)
