How to scrape data from password protected PDF

Help
1

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to extract data from a PDF which is password protected and the only way I can access it is using read PDF. The problem with that is, I cant get the data I want as the format changes completely. Is there any other way I can access the data without loosing the format?
Thanks

Sometime I’m doing below way to get pdf data without collapsing the format.

  1. Open pdf with microsoft word
  2. paste it to Excel
  3. Trim useless space

If you can use those application, try this.

Do you mean you can read the pdf without password in UiPath?? It’s very wired…
Actually I cant open your sample pdf so I suppose I cant help it anymore…

Yeah my task is to read the PDF without the password. And sorry I cant share the pdf as it is confidential.
