Hi @NIVED_NAMBIAR,
Thank you for the reply . Only certain field like invoice number, invoice date, reference number, amount.
Cheers,
Can u try this way
Extract the details from pdf using string manipulation and compare the data
May i also know whether it is scanned pdf or normal pdf ?
Hi @NIVED_NAMBIAR.
Thank you . To answer your question the pdf is in my local folders. how can i automate this process using Ui Path?
Cheers,
Hi @NIVED_NAMBIAR we can duplicate the same pdf to extract information from both to see if they match or not.?
Hi @srinivas_pradeep thanks for this question
I will tell how to extarct the above data using regex
First taking the input file
a. date extraction
b. Amount extarction
c. City extarction
this is how u can extract the values. then u can use the validation condition to check whether values are from two pdf are same or not
Hope it helps you
Regards

Happy Automation
Hi @NIVED_NAMBIAR
Thank you so much. This is great. Really helpful. i have one more questions.
What if the format of the pdfs/invoices are different ? that means you can find the same field but at different positions in different pdf.
Cheers,
Sri
The regex pattern will identifiy it
May be small whitespacing issue may arrive, apart from that regex pattern works perfect
Great . Thank you. @NIVED_NAMBIAR This is in case of two pdfs. But generally we have close to 1000 pdfs. So ideally the bot has to identify the invoices which are similar but comparing against each other. is it feasible with ui-path?
Also few of the invoices are in jpg or png format.
