Lesson 10 - PDF - Workflows: errors at execution of demo

The questions regarding “Lesson 10 - PDF - Workflows”

UiPath Academy

It contains 5 cases:

1. “Read pdf” works out of the box
2. “Screen scrapping PDF” selector is needed to be updated
   The question is WHY? What is wrong with original selector?
   Updated:

 wnd cls='AVL_AVView' idx='1' title='AVFlipContainerView' />
 wnd cls='AVL_AVView' title='AVDocumentMainView' />
 wnd cls='AVL_AVView' idx='2' title='AVFlipContainerView' />
 wnd cls='AVL_AVView' idx='1' title='AVSplitterView' />
 wnd cls='AVL_AVView' title='AVSplitationPageView' />
 wnd cls='AVL_AVView' title='AVSplitterView' />
 wnd cls='AVL_AVView' title='AVScrolledPageView' />
 wnd cls='AVL_AVView' title='AVScrollView' />
 wnd cls='AVL_AVView' title='AVPageView' />

Original:

wnd cls='AVL_AVView' idx='3' title='AVScrollView' />
ctrl idx='1' role='document' />

3. “Get Text PDF” Original selector won’t work. Trying to indicate on screen and HighLight after indicates the whole document area
   Original:

wnd app=‘acrord32.exe’ cls=‘AcrobatSDIWindow’ title=‘Invoice #38645 - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC’ />
wnd cls=‘AVL_AVView’ idx=‘1’ title=‘AVPageView’ />
ctrl idx=‘2’ name='$40.00 USD ’ role=‘text’ />
Updated:

wnd app='acrord32.exe' cls='AcrobatSDIWindow' title='Invoice #38645 - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC' />
wnd cls='AVL_AVView' idx='1' title='AVFlipContainerView' />
wnd cls='AVL_AVView' title='AVDocumentMainView' />
wnd cls='AVL_AVView' idx='2' title='AVFlipContainerView' />
wnd cls='AVL_AVView' idx='1' title='AVSplitterView' />
wnd cls='AVL_AVView' title='AVSplitationPageView' />
wnd cls='AVL_AVView' title='AVSplitterView' />
wnd cls='AVL_AVView' title='AVScrolledPageView' />
wnd cls='AVL_AVView' title='AVScrollView' />
wnd cls='AVL_AVView' title='AVPageView' />

Updated selector returns “AVPageView”

=====
4 and 5: Anchor Base and Anchor Base Find Image: won’t work at all.

Original case fails with:
