PDF Type into

[A_Learner]

Hi,
How do I type into PDF fields? When I try to use Type into, it is not identifying individual fields.

Thank you,

How to fill a PDF using Studio

Hi all, I am trying to open a PDF that has some text boxes I need to fill out. In this process we used to open the application Acrobat Reader and use Type Into activities, however, something changed and this is no longer working, the selectors inside the PDF are not being detected therefore I cannot type. Is there a workaround o solution for this? Thanks!

Thanks,
Ashok

You can use Extract Structered Data Activity for this.
Refer this document :

Activities - Extract Structured Data

HAPPY AUTOMATION!!

@A_Learner,

You can try Keyboard shortcut to send Tab key to travers through pdf fields. Set To Clipboard to copy whatever you want to fill in the field and then Keyboard Shortcut to Paste what is copied to clipboard. This way, you don’t need type into or set text.

Thanks,
Ashok

If it is aform pdf…then better use itext7 library which has methods to fill the fields without opening in ui…this is more reliable

A sampel is here
