Hi @ppr,
It’s an scenario like need to convert the image based/scanned pdf to text based pdf.I converted the image to text from pdf but need to make that text to be an pdf format.

you can use itext7 or selectpdf to create a new pdf with your text. You will have to use coded workflows or invoke code.

To import these packages in UiPath you would need to disable all filters.

what is needed?

  • #A a searchable PDF which looks same (layout, styles) as the image PDF?

OR

  • #B a text PDF which ignores layout and formats and just offers the OCR Result from the image PDF as simple text

#A is more then a simple txt to PDF conversion
#B can be achieved with simple shortcuts

@ppr ,

then generate the XSLFo File and transform it into a PDF

depending on the selected package we would do it with Assign, Invoke Code, Invoke Method steps
