For many of the PDFs (having selectable text), Screen scrapping method (Native, FullText) does not work

I observed that for many of the PDFs (having selectable text), Screen scrapping method (Native, FullText) does not work.

  1. I just wanted to know why it could be?
  2. I wanted to know if Uipath has some limitations here or It’s PDF file issue?
  3. If PDF file issue, what could it be?
  4. How to handle in this case?

Note: this issue persists even though i changed PDF file settings
Edit > Preferences > Reading > Reading Order = Left-to-Right, top-to-bottom reading order

Also, Edit > Accessibility > Change Reading Options > Reading Order = Left-to-Right, top-to-bottom reading order

If PDF contains any image then above mentioned method won’t work. And you need to use OCR engines to get data from PDF files which contains images.
