Hope it helps!!

first read the PDF using Read PDF Text activity

And use contains method it should be work check if the value which you are using in contains is present in (Read PDF Text activity output or not).

the other way you can use regex for matching.

Hi @poojaskyrathore

After using Read PDF Text or Read PDF with OCR store the output in a variable and its datatype is System.String.
After that use If condition and give the required keyword.

Check the below image for better understanding:

Hope it helps!!

Hi @poojaskyrathore

Pass the keyword that you have in your PDF.

Hi @poojaskyrathore

Can you share the Sample Text and the keyword to extract.

USD IS THE KEYWORD … THATS the general one … i have take more information like that from pdf

Can you share sample text @poojaskyrathore and try writing the output of Read PDF text t Write Text file to check how USD letters are getting printed. Share a sample PDF so that I can help you out.

@poojaskyrathore

Just to be sure add a tolower and give the keyword in lower case…also I believe its a single word

Str.ToLower.Contains("yourdata")

Also I hope youa re reading full pdf
