Converting a pdf to .txt and adding the page numbers to the end

[Billy_Persen]

Hi, i’m trying to convert this pdf i have to a .txt file. I want the pdf page numbers or something like “start of page 1, 2 etc” to be at the start of each page in the final .txt file.

I saw a similar post about this, but it involved generating individual .txt files. I only want one long file.

I also need to mention that I’m a beginner to studioX/uipath. Thanks!

Hi @Billy_Persen ,

You should be able to accomplish this using UiPath.PDF.Activities library, try following these steps

• Install UiPath.PDF.Activities library
  

• Get the page count
  
  

• Create a variable of int type, you can call it PageIndex and set the value to 1
  

• Add a Do While activity and set the condition to PageIndex<=PageCount
  

• Add these steps inside your do while

• Use these properties in the Read PDF Text activity
  

hope this helps.

I’m kind of stuck on this one place, i can’t seem to find the do while activity

@Billy_Persen, I believe is called Repeat on StudioX but the logic should be the same
