Indicate on screen (pdf)

I’m having trouble getting UiPath to recognize individuated elements on my screen (native text pdf). I’ve done a bunch of research and made these changes to my Adobe Acrobat settings:

  • Turned off accessibility “Enable assistive technology”
  • Page display always show reference XObject targets
  • Reading order in raw print stream

I’ve made similar changes in Adobe Reader. No luck. I’m starting to think I need to uninstall and reinstall UiPath. Please help!

hi @ebarrish,

First a very warm welcome to the UiPath forum.

Now, as we are talking about PDF if this specific PDF contains just an image(as in case of scanned copies, or jpeg converted to PDF) you will not be able to recognize individual elements as you were able to do with other PDFs. There is no problem with any activity or UiPath as a whole.
If that’s the case, you can try “read PDF with OCR” activity.

Hope it helps

Regards

Hi @yogesh.chand, thank you for the welcome.

This pdf is not scanned or an image. The text can be copy-pasted, but individual elements still aren’t getting recognized.

I still believe it has something to do with my settings in either UiPath or Adobe, but I haven’t been able to figure out what.
