Count specific pictures in pdf file

Hello All,

The challenge is to count the number of man-icons in pdf files that look like this:


The icons are always placed on the first page of pdf files that need to be proceeded and there are 1, 2 or 3 man-icons in each pdf file.
I’ve tried ‘Read PDF Text’ activity with IEnumerable variable assigned to output, but haven’t got the expected result. The expected result from the above example should be ‘2’ digit and sample pdf file is attached.
Any suggestions on a worflow that will count the number of man-icons?

Thank you in advance for any support,
Kaz

Hey! Have you tried using the Read Text File activity? You could try opening it with notepad first so you can find the object inside the text and then simply count how many times you find that string in your text.

Hello @Marco_Ber
Thank you for your suggestion - I’ve followed that.
I was able to open pdf file with notepad and with notepad++, however I was not able to identify anything that could stand for searched icons.
Then I used ‘Read Text Activity’. Again, nothing similar to man-icon representation.

Kaz

Closing this topic. Unfortunately, there is than one standard for man-icon :frowning:
The topic is still interesting, however not crucial. Thus closing without solution in fact.
