Hi @Isabel_Chau

The image is not properly loaded. Can you please confirm whether you are working on a scanned pdf or not?

Can you try with read pdf with ocr if its scanned pdf or read pdf activity and then use regex expression.

Thanks

Hi Rahul_Unnikrishnan,

I am not sure it is scanned PDF or not and I copy the file from others, is there any setting on the PDF file if I cannot use Read PDF with ocr.

Thanks

@Isabel_Chau
Can you use Use Application/Browser activity with Get Text activities.
This worked fine for me, as did the Read PDF with OCR. Used your provided PDF attachment.
