GettextFromPdf

[sjankus]

Hello,

Can someone help me with extract information from PDF. I know there is a lot of examples but can’t find right one.
I have a .pdf invoice file with table inside 7 columns and 4 rows. I need to extract it. Steps what i have done:

1. Read Pdf ( variable: OutPdfText)
2. OutPdfText.Split(Environment.NewLine.ToArray,System.StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
3. then assign variables From and To
4. In Matches activity i used: Input: OutPdfText Pattern:"(?<=" + From + “)”+"(.*)"+"(?=" + To + “)”

It searches from top to almost bottom of the file string but the result is: Empty.
If i set From and To variables to read only first line then it works perfect but when i try get text from whole document it can’t find. I think there is a problem with New lines.

@sjankus Use For each activity and provide input array which is below

OutPdfText.Split(Environment.NewLine.ToArray,System.StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)

with if condition check value is null or not, if value is not null then use

In Matches activity i used: Input: OutPdfText Pattern:"(?<=" + From + “)”+"(.*)"+"(?=" + To + “)”

Better use match activity

if value is null don’t do anything

Process will be repeated
