PDF extraction - identify selection

Hi All,

I have a use case where we have to extract data from a scanned pdf document, which contain optional answers (somewhat similar to multiple choice question answer sheet). Is it possible to automate such scenario?

Thanks in advance

Hi @Andrew22,

This type of automation is possible. Please use ‘Read PDF With OCR’ activity and use any OCR engine, like 'Microsoft OCR’. Create a ‘text’ variable under ‘Read PDF With OCR’ activity in its concerned field.
This will look like the below -
