Is there some way or activity in UIPath where in we can check if a PDF file is a 1st generation Document? A 1st generation Document is Its a type of document that is original. Not scanned into the computer. An idea or help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hey @Jelrey,
this should be easily achievable with the Read PDF Text Activity.

Read the PDF, then use IF Statement to check if PDF Text length returned from that activity is bigger then 0. If It is the text in the PDF was readable and the PDF was not scanned.

Here’s a short workflow:
