Hi @Yogeshwar_Singh

yes ,there is no such property using “Read Pdf with ocr”, you can try using different OCR engine and check the variations in the output.

Thanks.

@Yogeshwar_Singh For the scanned pdf if you are using Read pdf with OCR, it may vary the format based on the pdf. Also you cannot preserve the formating.

Could you pleasse expalin the actual requirement? After reading the pdf what are you going to do with that data?

Hii @Rahul_Unnikrishnan thanks for reply
I want to use regex and want to need only items data from the pdf

@Yogeshwar_Singh Ok…If you want to extract data based on regex, do you need to preserve the format?

If you just want to extract data with regex, you don’t need to consider the formatting.

I think here you can use the Split method to extract the data btw “Marks & Nos.” to “TOTAL”

String Var1=Split(strIn,“TOTAL”)[0]
StringOutVal=Split(Var1,“Marks & Nos.”)[1]
