Automate data entry to editable PDF documents using UiPath

Is it possible to automate data entry to editable PDF documents using UiPath?

Hi @sadhuvijay11

Yes if PDF is editable a simple Type Into would work

Thanks for the reply @PrankurJoshi. Using TypeInto I was unable to select specific element on the document. Few elements(20%) on PDF are detectable though.

UiExplorer selects whole page instead. Am I missing something here.

So I think those are the only ones which can be edited. If not you can try Computer Vision to resolve this

Thanks,

The other component which I was unable to select is ofcourse editable on PDF.

Sure, Next step would be to use Computer vision.

Thanks again!

@sadhuvijay11 you can create anchors. And also use of hot keys i.e. TAB to switch between fields.
