Hi @mykar88,

I tried to get the Invoice Number from sample Invoice.pdf (i used a sample invoice.pdf file from Amazon), and I will able to get the specific values , store them in variable and display it as well.

Could you please try this :slight_smile:
1.> Manually right click on the Invoice.pdf and click properties
then change open with to Firefox

firefox
firefox1430×924 55.9 KB

2.> Then Create a work flow in Ui path as

invoice
invoice2890×1516 203 KB

a.> Use Start process activity and give the path as installation directory of Firefox something like “C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe”

b.>manually double click the invoice.pdf and it will open through firefox.

copy the address of that pdf file from address bar , something like “C:\Users\XYZ\Documents\UiPath\Test\Invoice.pdf”

c.> Put that in start process second text box.

Once the file is opened on browser, I think u can get each and every detail properly using get text activity.
