Hi @shalini23
You can use Read PDF Text

You just need to add the UiPath.PDF.Activities package.
Thanks and regards,

@shalini23

I had similar problem with downloaded PDF files while going through dev training. If you have a problem with scraping partial text in PDF, there’s a note in the introduction to lesson 10 on how could you solve this issue.

It didn’t worked for me tho. As I remember I used OCR scraping and string formatting to get the data. You could also use Computer Vision activities, which shyamm told you earlier about. This technology looks pretty neat, but I did not have use it in the development yet.
