You could potentially use mouse_Down activity and then drag but this isn’t the best option. If you cannot use Get Text activity (the optimal), try double clicking to see if it selects the whole text and then you can use Copy Text or hotkeys (ctrl+c then ctrl+a)

Plenty of options why are you going with mouse selection??

How can we do this in uiPath - You could potentially use mouse_Down activity and then drag but this isn’t the best option

Please share the xaml for this.

Here’s a new custom activity to redact PDF Documents without the use of any third party software.

Here’s an example workflow that uses it. Be sure to install the custom activity, which you can get from UiPath Connect Marketplace
