Download uipath.directorysearch.activity package in that you will find Get Files Activity and in properties maintain the type of File as *.PDF

Hi @BID

Please try the given custom activity which helps to return specific file type based on LIFO or FIFO order.

@BID
1.Use for each activity…
Directory.getfiles(YourFolderPath,“*.pdf”)

2.Then Use Start process activity to open pdf file.

@BID

in output variables pass a list variable all files will be stored into it.
