How to take a screenshot of an area of a pdf?

[Slgus (Sandro Giongo)]

Hi everyone!

So, when we apply OCR in a pdf document, the activity returns the DOM, which contains information about the words and their positions.

My question is: can I use the coordinates of a word to take a screenshot of a small area next to it?

Is there an activity that allows me to input coordinates to do this?

I tried to create a new UiElement with the coordinates of a word from the DOM, but I didn’t find any information about it.

Thank you!

Hi @Slgus ,

“Take screenshot” activity can be used to take screenshot and in the clipping region property, coordinates can be assigned.

Thanks, and Regards,

shot” activity can be used

Can you really use variables in the Clipping Region field??

When I input variables in there, it disappears after I press Enter.

Is there a way to use this without hardcoding it??
