Hi
Pls clarify with the manual steps on how you will be calculating the page number of one pdf file without downloading.
So that the same steps can be replicated with uipath
We can readily tell the sequence of activities that could be used
You are not going to be able to achieve this without downloading the pdf.
Hi,
There are couple of online tools to extract information (Metadata/EXIF info) for the files. You might have to provide your PDF files Link (Which means sharing your file - make sure files don’t have sensitive information) and tool will extract and show you the information.
At the end you can extract file information without downloading/opening it.
I have used the streamreader to open the file without downloading but it uses the regex “/Type\s*/Page[^s]”
The output page count is different from that mentioned in the PDF.
