Cannot anchor PDF file data

I cannot anchor PDF file data when using anchor function, find element, I am using Adobe DC reader 32 bits

@Isabel_Chau

Can you try reading the pdf and use regex or split to get the data…

As on pdf it might notwork with anchors…try changinf the framework to active accessibility in ui explorer…but mostly that also mightnot work…worth a try

Cheers

Hello @Isabel_Chau

Is it a scanned pdf??? I f yes, then you ll have to go with read pdf with ocr and then use regex.

If normal pdf, it should work with anchor based extraction.

Thanks

Hi Anil_G,
Thanks for your suppot, seems I haven’t read PDF in activity, how can I add it?

@Isabel_Chau

Search for pdf packages grom
Manage packages menu

UiPath.pdf.Activities is the package name

I believe that the best way to do it would be to just use RegEx to select the desired text.
Then you save it to a variable and you can split it however you want, or move it through activities! :slight_smile:

Cheers!
