@Susanna_Thomas u can try string manipulation instead of ocr activity if all pdfs u use are of same format.

@Susanna_Thomas

If the text from the pdf file is selectable, then use read pdf text activity and that will give you the whole text in string variable, then use substring or other string fuctions to get the desired data.
