Hi,
Here we go.

  • assign files =Directory.GetFiles(“Directory path”)
  • For each to iterate through all the files inside the folder
  • Start process to open each pdf
  • Send Hotkey (ctl+p) to print.

@karunakart ,
hi,
i tried to get the desired resutl, but it doesnt work.
It depends exactly on structure of your pdf. If you have the same structure in all pdf files. It will work. The elements, that i want to extract are Inovice reciever and invoice number with customer number and the sum. They are written in German languag, but important is the structure of the flowchart.
with best regards

Yea agree, you are correct, the elements from which you want to extract data need to have the same structure in all pdf files, if not scripts may fail. Did you get chance work with abbyy ocr, there we may leverage the slight structural changes in pdf. Another solution i’m thinking of is capture entire data on pdf and parse the same as per requirement, hope this helps. Above script of not any use without looking at pdf structure, if possible pls share pdfs for which above script is. best regards
