I check using Message Box, Log Messages, Write line, and also Write text file.

In All the cases it shows the same junk text.

Kindly suggest some option.

Thanks and Regards,

@hacky Looks like the PDF is a Digital One, and it should have extracted the Information. Can you try using PreserveFormatting Property Set to True and Check the Output?

Thanks for your response mate!

I tried it before, but unfortunately it is showing the same results.

It is difficult to analyse the issue without having pdf document.
Is it possible to share a pdf doc to have a better look and see it what is happening.

Yes I tried with Read PDF Text activity and it’s giving Gibberish result.

Use Read PDF with OCR activity and inside that use Tesseract OCR and then try once. I checked and its working fine.

@lakshman

As per my understanding, OCRs wouldnt give 100% smoothe results.

Do you think its the recommended approach?

Also, do we have some other options to try?
