Hi,

I’m trying to extract table data from a pdf of a presentation and output it to Excel. I managed to do that for one of the pages using Use Application activity for Adobe acrobat reader, and I also added a click activity to press the arrow button to go to the next slide. The automation is successfully looping through pages but not actually capturing new content from each page so I end up with 5 rows with identical data in the excel. What can I do so that when it goes to the new page, it extracts data table from the new page?

Hi
May be try splitting the pdf pages and and then loop through each page to extract the data.

Thanks

As it is a pdf better to use document understanding to get the data

If it is a fixed layout then form extractor can be used to extract the table data
