Need to extract particular data from pdf to excel with OCR or pdf extract activity/

[iced]

I am trying to fetch specific text from the pdf file to excel and I need help with that.

From the pdf, I want to extract

• Num City (of Home address)
• State (of Home address)
• Zip (of Home address)
• Desc
• Qty
• Amount
• Total

want to save this info to the data table and dump the data table into excel.

Expected Excel Output:

Num, City, State, Zip, Desc, Qty, Amount, Total

100, Chicago, IL, 40401, QDFT 1.1 20-10’, 4, 100.50, 402.00
101, Chicago, IL, 40401, Magson 1/1 33-12 Supply log, 502, 10.11, 5075.22

Any help is appreciated.

It looks like native pdf. Try with Read PDF activity with preserve formatting option checked.

Build datable with columns that you want to paste to excel.

Then read text and look for the first line of that table. Look for the column value. Each column would be seperated with more then two or three spaces. So regex split could work.

If the line doesnt have any value except space it means you shoud add row with current column values to your data table variable and you can look for another table row.
