Hi Everyone

Im brand new to this so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Im setting up an automation to read a PDF (using Read PDF Text) when it is dropped into a folder, the name changes every time so how do I do this???

Cheers

Well i’m assuming as of now the pdf’s are in Folder
1 - Assign(filesToBeProcessed = Directory.GetFiles(“YourFolderPath”)
2 -For each loop pass filesToBeProcessed Varible
3 - use ReadPdfText pass Item.ToString and get output as Text outString

Thanks to everyone’s help so far.

Sorry everyone I must be doing something wrong. I get to the Read PDF Text section and it only works for the file that is listed as RFQTS001.pdf? I need to it to read any PDF file.
