Hello Everyone,
I have used ‘Screen Scraping’ method to extract the data from a PDF and it is working as an Attended process, However when I ran that screen scraping process as an Unattended process then I got an error message of “Timeout Reached”
This issue occurred when using the ‘Get OCR Text’ activity in the screen scraping method for an unattended process.
Thanks is advance…!!
is the element is not detected while screenscrapping?
Did u check the selector ?

Check below for your reference
Screen Scraping with OCR will not work in background execution
For the PDF to enable the elements you can check below
Active Accessibility is an API which provides greater reading support for individuals with physical or cognitive difficulties. When enabled in programs, such as Adobe Reader, access, identification, or manipulation of UI elements can become difficult...
Hope this may help you
Thanks
Hi
welcome back to UiPath forum
As mentioned that we are trying to extract data from pdf we can try using PDF activity instead of screen scrapping
Like use either READ PDF or READ PDF OCR
This will help you read data from pdf in background
Here you go on how to use it
