Hi,
I have a question. I am trying to create a robot that can read multiple pdf files and based on those files renaming them but each invidually… Can anyone help me with this? I am fairly new to UiPath.
With kind regards,
Kees-Jan

Hi @ukjtenhoven.
Hope this helps.
Hi @Jan_Brian_Despi,
Thanks for your reply. I sort of already made that, but here is the problem we need to scan files in the printer then the printer sends the scanned file to a special folder. But each scanned file has a different unique name. And also each scanned document is different for example: bills, contracts, etc. So the robot needs to read those files and rename them. But each file needs another name. And it needs to get the name based from that scanned file…
With kind regards,
What will be the new file names?
Based from that file. see for example below.
But then differently for each file. It needs to retrieve the name from the scanned document.
With kind regards,
Hi @ukjtenhoven
Buddy, its easy ,
Hope this would help you
Cheers…
hi @Palaniyappan,
Thanks for your help but I still have a few questions. Were talking about maybe 100+ different pdf files. so:
Right now I made a robot for one specific document. But it basically it needs to be for all the different files.
With kind regards,
Thats a good question buddy…
Alright…
For first question, in that case we can use wildcard in selectors to get the same type of data but from different pdfs…to make it even more reliable we can use anchor base activity with a solid anchor on left side that remains same in all the file and we can use use get text activity as base in anchor base activity…but whatever may the file must be opened while using get text activity…
Coming to second question, here is your example xaml buddy…
wordpress.pdf (42.6 KB)
Main.xaml (11.0 KB)
well hear i didn’t use two files but you can by mentioning the file path in start process, btained from Directory.GetFiles(“folder path”,“.pdf”) assigned to a collection type variable
Hope this would help you…
Cheers…
Hi @Palaniyappan,
Thank you for your time and helping. But that is specific for that one sample.pdf right? Everytime the file is completely different. Here I made a robot for one specific file. But it needs to do it for different .pdf files. Do you have any idea how to achieve that?
GetName.xaml (7.5 KB)
With kind regards,
@ukjtenhoven
Buddy i think there is some issue with my studio in opening your xaml, can i have the full folder a zipped one…if possible
Cheers
Sure! @Palaniyappan
