Read radio button and check box status in pdf

Help Studio

Hello all,

I am trying to read which radio button is checked and check box is selected in pdf without using OCR.

Following one of the forum suggestion, I tried extracting text and check for any additional characters which will tell me which radio button is checked but I don’t see any additional characters in extracted text (used pdf activities)

Are there any other ways? Please suggest.

Thanks Anil. I did try but it isn’t showing anything additional in text file (wrote read op to txt file) to differentiate whether yes or no radio btn is selected.

Is it possible to share two sample files?

Thanks for responding Anil. Unfortunately I cannot share due to org restrictions :frowning:
It is not a digitized pdf.

Anything else which you would suggest?

Try opening the pdf and from ui try using find image with item check…

That might be an option…

Cheers

Another way to read the status of radio buttons and check boxes in a PDF document using UiPath is to use the “Extract Structured Data” activity. This activity uses machine learning algorithms to extract information from a document, including the status of buttons. You can use the activity to extract data from a PDF document and use the extracted data to determine the status of the buttons.
