[Balan (Bot)]

Hi Team,

Using UiPath studio i have downloaded a pdf letter when i open the pdf manually its fine with the exact contents.
When i try opening the same file using the activity Read PDF Text
in WriteLine entire contents displaying as junk values. What could be wrong. How to get rid of this ?

@Balan,

Is your pdf digital or scanned?

If Digital PDF - Try check box Preserve Format property.
If scanned - Use Read PDF With OCR activity.

Thanks,
Ashok

Its digital only. Do i need to pass True in PreserveFormatting ?
