Hi Susanna

My understanding is that you need to do following:

1- Put all files in a folder.
2- Apply a loop
3- Open each file
4- Read required field using OCR/screen scrapping technique.
5- Assign that invoice number to an array.
6- Write that data in to an excel file.

Hope this makes sense.

There should be an option to scrape from multiple pages, Then you just specify what information you want to scrape from each page.

Hi I’m relatively new to UiPath. I’m stuck on 3, how do you sequentially open pdf files in an application. Can you for example specify to open adobe acrobat each time with another file and then do screen scraping?

Hello Diabolique619,

I am attempting to do this and was able to achieve steps 1-3. Which screen scrapping/OCR technique would I use in order to apply it to all PDFs within the file?
