Hi guys,

is it because of while loop or anything else?

Hi,

I think it’s better to check whether there is especially slow activity in your workflow, first.
So can you try to debug with turning on LogActivites in ribbon menu and ShowTimestamp in Output panel, as the following?

Hi,

I suggested to turn on LogActivities for measuring the processing time for each activity.
Or do you mean your studio is restricted to use LogActivities by governance?

Hi,

Please also turn on ShowTimestamp in Output panel. Then you can know process time of each activity from it.

Hello @check_account

During execution in debug mode, which activity is taking more time to load? Can you please monitor that?

Also you can do the debugging with stepInto method to understand whether the flow is happening as designed. As you mentioned the pdf is a large file, it can also cause the slowness. But better to validate the flow using the stepinto.

can you share overall project folder with sample inputs?

Hi @check_account ,

Could you maybe try shifting to a For Each Loop and Check if it is the same with that Activity as well ?

Most probably, the PDF being Huge is taking time to read it.

Let us know what is the Outcome.

This shouldn’t be taking much time actually speaking.
