Digitize Document Native Scanner Does Not Behave Same As Read PDF Text Activity

Help
1

When using the READ PDF TEXT Activity I get nicely formatted results.
When using Digitize Document Activity I some time get results scattered making it more difficult creating regex to capture wanted data.
I’m trying to:
Let the Digitize Document Activity complete and let it populate the DocText Variable with the output.
After this activity I want to run the READ PDF TEXT Activity and assign / replace the DocText variable with the new string from the READ PDF TEXT Activity.
The goal/value of this …is it will let me use the nicely formatted string instead of the unformatted I get sometime when letting the Digitize Document scan it.

I thought I had it until I got the following error message as soon as it got the the classification activity. :frowning:

“Classify Document Scope: The document text does not match the Document Object Model.”

Hoping someone can suggest how I can force my string in the DocText to be used for the rest of the Document Understanding Framework?

Hi David, I am trying to implement exactly the same thing you were doing. Did you ever get a response or solution to the above.

Hi all,

Likewise, I am having this problem - there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to switch out the text part of the document object model!

Hi,
I have the same problem described by David!
I have tried “dom.GetVisualTextProjection.ProjectedText” but the exception is the same.
