Thanku Vashisht. Actually our requirement to search PDF with keywords (for E.g. Java or Hadoop) and if that keyword matching in that pdf we want to place that pdf into some folder. can you pls suggest in this?

1.You can use the Read pdf activity and store it in string and then search for the keywords in the string.
2.If you find keywords then use the move file activity to move file to another location.

if we want to search mutliple keywords then we need to use contains or any other option?

10

pls give me response for the above query?

According to my knowledge the one thing you can do is:
1.Store the keywords in an array and keep it in a for loop and check for every keyword.
2.Keep a flag variable and change the value if it is present(1) and not present (0) then it may be easy.
