Digitize a Document stored in a Storage Bucket

[sumitd (Sumit)]

I am trying to digitize a document in a storage bucket, but getting an error stating “Input document not found.”

How do I pass the bucket path to the Digitize Document activity?

Listing files in storage bucket:

On-prem setup.

Thanks for reading through!

Hi @sumitd,

Since you need to pass the document which from storage bucket I would you say, you can set destination path first after that you can download the respective document and store in destination once we have done with Digitalization you can get the documents

UiPath Tutorial | Storage Bucket in Orchestrator (Part - I)

Steps → Download Document → Store in Path → Read the Document ->Delete the document

Thanks in advance,

Hi @Jayavignesh_G ,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, downloading the document is a solution, but I didnt want to do it this way.

Looking for a direct way, if possible at all.

Hi @sumitd,

We don’t have features like that. I hope you can go only through the download approach !!

Thanks in advance,

I won’t be able to sleep right with that design!

Document understanding framework does this using queues and storage bucket with a TargetItem object. Any idea how that works?

@Yoichi @postwick - any suggestions?

You can’t digitize straight from the bucket. You have to use Download Storage File to get a local copy of the file then digitize from there.

@postwick - thanks!

Have you checked the Document Understanding RE Framework?
Using queues and storage bucket, Digitize is done without downloading documents from the bucket.

My automation is failing there.

The Document Understanding template and RE Framework are two different things.

The DU template does not digitize the document right from the Storage Bucket. Other steps use a Storage Bucket, but that’s for the Action Center steps - files can be stored in a Storage Bucket for display in Action Center.
