Use read pdf text and all the pages in that pdf will be read and give some variable as the output of the read pdf text and pass that variable into the write text file. In the Write to Filename please provide the text file name as you wanted.

Use read pdf with OCR in case the PDF is a scanned file and all the pages in that pdf will be read and give some variable as the output of the read pdf text and pass that variable into the write text file. In the Write to Filename please provide the text file name as you wanted.
For scanned pdf please use the below format.

Example Amount:#34,876,877.000#

Hi @0bb4628e217fd43ac86ac9294

Try changing the scale option in Microsoft OCR. The minimum scale value is 0 and the max value will be 5. You can increase the value in .5 also, So try changing the values so that you can achieve the desired output at a particular value.
