OCR Issue - Sudden error "The extension '.ini' does not have a known content type definition"

Hello everyone,

I have an OCR application that extracts data from PDF files. This application has worked well for a while now. All of a sudden when I run the application I receive an error message stating that “The extension ‘.ini’ does not have a known content type definition”.

I cannot find any information regarding this error on the UI Path forum or on the web.

I have tried using an enterprise API key and with a community API key just as a sanity check.

Does anyone know how I can overcome this issue?

Additional information
I am using the following activities

  • Omni page OCR engine
  • Form extractor

Can any one help to support this issue?

same, I am getting this issue too.

I was using Omnipage OCR to read pdf/jpg files and it does just fine. But all of a sudden it shows this exact same error and I cant seem to solve this.

Could anyone please please solve this.

‘Just save your extracted data file to another folder than the input files and retry.’
