@maneesha.padamata,

Welcome to the UiPath Community!

You can follow this approach.

1. Get the count of pages in the PDF file into a variable.
   Get PDF Page Count
2. Use For Each activity to loop all the pages. Declare Index variable to store each iterating page number.
3. Use Read PDF With OCR inside the For Each loop and set the Range Property to indexVariable +1 this will ensure the page number start with 1
4. Add your additional logic to add it to Word file and all.

Thanks,
Ashok

Hi @maneesha.padamata

Try this way:
=> Use Read PDF with OCR activity and save the output to a variable say pdfTextVariable

=>Use the below code in Invoke Code activity. Change the path where you want to store the word document in 10th line.

' Initialize Word application
Dim wordApp As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application()

' Create a new document
Dim doc As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document = wordApp.Documents.Add()

' Get PDF text from UiPath variable (pdfTextVariable)
Dim pdfText As String = pdfTextVariable

' Paste the text into Word document
doc.Content.Text = pdfText

' Save the Word document to a desired location
doc.SaveAs("C:\Users\"+Environment.UserName+"\Documents\UiPath\Beginners Learning Challenge 3 PDF automation\Output.docx")

' Close Word application and clean up
doc.Close()
wordApp.Quit()

Invoked Arguments:

Hope it helps!!

How to Convert PDF to Word file

The Start Process activity can be used to start any windows process. If you tell it to open Microsoft Word and give the filename as a parameter then it will start Word and open your pdf file. It should ask if you want to do an automatic conversion. You can use Click to say yes and then save the resulting converted file as whatever you’d like.

Problems with iTextSharp in the custom activity

I created a custom activity for rotating pdf files. In the c# code I imported iTextSharp library and performed some actions with it. When I did the same code in a separate VS C# project it worked absolutely fine. When I created my custom activity following the steps from the official tutorial from UiPath, it throws me an error when using it: Rotate PDF : Could not load file or assembly ‘itextsharp, Version=5.5.13.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=8354ae6d2174ddca’ or one of its dependencies.…
