Hi All,

I new in Uipath.

Where is the option to set OCR fulltext screen scraping on a multiple pages PDF?

I set the frame on the first page and I need to repeat the same scraping rule on every page of the same document. Does anyone know how to do it?

Thanks in advance.

Try using Read PDF With OCR activity. It will read the whole pdf

Use a inbuilt Snippet to read each file from a folder

Then use Read PDD or Read PDF with OCR

You can always give the range of page numbers or a single page number

Hello, I’m new to Uipath and I’m trying the same as @faustogrisenti . Have you been able to do what you were trying? In my case, I tried the read PDF activity, but because the table in it has many spaces, it’s impossible to treat the data from the table. The Data scraping also didn’t work because it says that the control doesn’t support data extraction. With screen scraping it seems to be working, but when I put the screen scraping in a loop running through all pages of the PDF, it doesn’t work because the scraped area remain in the first page, even after I placed a click activity on the next page button in the loop. It changes the page indeed, but the scraping remains in the first page. The selector doesn’t seem to have any reference to the page, so I don’t know how to solve this.

This is the selector for the get full text within the screen scraping:

This is the selector for the attach window within the screen scraping:

Thanks in advance
