<wnd app=‘acrord32.exe’ cls=‘AcrobatSDIWindow’ title=‘MaleNo.pdf - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC’ />
<wnd aaname=‘Document Pane’ cls=‘AVL_AVView’ title=‘AVScrolledPageView’ />
<wnd cls=‘AVL_AVView’ title=‘AVPageView’ />
<ctrl idx=‘1’ name=‘Lieutenant’ role=‘list item’ />

<wnd app=‘acrord32.exe’ cls=‘AcrobatSDIWindow’ title=‘MaleNo.pdf - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC’ />
<wnd aaname=‘Document Pane’ cls=‘AVL_AVView’ title=‘AVScrolledPageView’ />

<ctrl idx=‘1’ name=‘*’ role=‘list item’ />

Make the selector dynamic as above name=‘*’ instead of name=‘Lieutenant’

Mark as solution if this helps

Thanks

@lyjun550 Using Get Text Activity with the below Selector worked for me, for the sample that you had provided, not sure if the selector’s are the same for the one you’re using but it’s similar to it :

<wnd app='acrord32.exe' cls='AcrobatSDIWindow' title='MaleNo.pdf - Adobe Reader' />
<wnd cls='AVL_AVView' title='AVPageView' />
<ctrl role='combo box' text='*' idx='1' />

Theres an image blocking it? I unable to get text from the pdf
In the last page

@lyjun550 No. Actually If you keep the mouse hovered overed the Date part and just move a little by little to only detect the Date part. You should be able to get the Date Element. I was able to get it in that way now.

Can you send me your selector please?

@lyjun550 Check this :

<wnd app=‘acrord32.exe’ cls=‘AcrobatSDIWindow’ title=‘MaleNo.pdf - Adobe Reader’ />
<wnd cls=‘AVL_AVView’ title=‘AVPageView’ />
<ctrl name=‘Witness Sign Date’ role=‘editable text’ />

@lyjun550 Yes. Changing the Selector should have worked actually, but Since it is being blocked by that image, it can’t be recognised. Will the Date be different than the first Date that is present on the left of it ?

You can Also take a look and experiment with the Activity present below, until we can find a more simpler way to extract the value through UI Actvities :sweat_smile:

Also is it necessary to extract the values using UI Activities ?
