Hi @RACHEL_PAUL

using READ PDF Text activity you can read the whole text in pdf then you can use regex to read the specific text.

  1. Install UiPath.PDF.Activities: Ensure you have the UiPath.PDF.Activities package installed in UiPath Studio.
  2. Use Read PDF Text Activity: Add the Read PDF Text activity to extract text from the PDF file.
  3. Search for Text: Use string methods like pdfText.Contains("desired_text") to check if the desired text exists in the extracted PDF text.
  4. Attach Annexure Based on Result: If the text is found (True condition), proceed to attach the annexure using the associated path.
    Sequence
    Variables
    pdfText (String)
    Activities
    Read PDF Text
    FilePath: “path_to_your_pdf.pdf”
    Output: pdfText
    If pdfText.Contains(“desired_text”)
    Then
    // Attach annexure using the path from your configuration
    AttachAnnexureActivity(PathFromConfiguration)
    Else
    Log Message: “Desired text not found in the PDF.”

IF PDF is native then you can read the PDF using PDF read activity then use the regex to get the specific data from PDF
