Image PDF scraping

Help

Hi

I need to scrape some details from a “scanned - image” PDF for which I used Anchor base activity with Find Image (pointing to the label) as the anchor and Get OCR text as the activity to extract value.

However when I execute this flow, I’m getting an error saying “Value does not fall within the expected range.”
This error is coming from the Get OCR text activity.

Is it even possible to use Anchor Base for Scanned image pdf?

Please suggest.

Hi!

Could you share a sample of you scanned pdf? I think this error might occur because it doesn’t recognize what you are indicating.

Try using the “read pdf with OCR” activity to get the full text, then, do some string manipulations using substring and other methods to get the needed details.

Do you have any examples related to string manipulations, if so please attach here
