How can I use Read PDF with OCR activity?

Hello! I need help with this activity. I drop this activity to read an image at a pdf, but it doesn’t work.

I put the pdf’s path and the range : “6”. The problem appears when the Abby OCR activity is executed.

@nahueldelacruz

Could you please try to use screen scraping function to specify range that you want to get value, select Scraping Method: OCR and select some OCR Engine first.

*Don’t worry, You can change OCR Engine later.
*Please confirm your PC has Abbyy programs.(ABBYY FineReader Engine SDK is required.)

@Natapong Do we need license to use the abbyy finereader sdk ? If no, from where can we download the sdk? If yes, then what alternative do we have ?

Thanks in Advance

Hi @mayank.te

Abbyy license is required, you can use other OCR Engine

Free OCR Engine
->Microsoft OCR
->Tesseract OCR
->OmniPage OCR
