Renaming PDF according to specific words inside the PDF

Hi All,

I would like to rename a PDF according to specific words inside the PDF. Is that possible and how can I do it?

Thanks in advance!

Hi

Welcome to uipath forum

Hope the below steps would help you resolve this

we can use MOVE FILE activity
That is get the pdf files from a folder using a assign activity like this
arr_files = Directory.GetFiles(“yourfolderpath”,”*.pdf”)

Where arr_files is a variable of type array of string

—now use a FOR EACH activity and pass the above variable as input
—inside the loop use a MOVE FILE activity where in the path property mention as item.ToString
And in Destination property mention the
“Yourfolderpath\”+”your new Filename”+”.pdf”

You can get the text from pdf by reading it using READ PDF FILE activity and get the string manipulation done and pass it as new Filename

Hi Palaniyappan,

Firstly thank you for taking the time to instruct me. I really appreciate it. I would like to add a question if I may:

  1. If I want the automation to always find the name I want in the PDF (from the very same line/part of the page) for each PDF file, how can I do so? For example, the PDF shows a name in the 2nd line after the word “Name”, is there a formula to make it extract the words after “Name” and rename the file with that result?
    Date: 24/03/2022
    Name: Amenoufy
    Subject: Thank you

In this case the file will be renamed “Amenoufy”

  1. Can I set rules to say, if after “Subject” it says “Thank you”, name the file with the words after
    “name” & add the result “Thank you”. In this example it will rename the file: AmenoufyThankyou

Thanks in advance!
