Save a PDF file from Outlook and retrieve the saved file in explorer

Help
1

Hi,
Main.xaml (47.2 KB)

I’ve managed to save a PDF file from Outlook to a directory e.g. File123.pdf. I want to be able to retrieve this saved file in explorer to be able to edit the PDF. How can I ensure that the file name File123.pdf is passed to my open file step where I ask UI Path to retrieve the file?

I’ve attached my project thus far. Any assistance would be appreciated as I am very much a novice when it comes to UI Path.

Regards,

Jeff

@JeffNZ - You can either use “Read PDF Text” activity where you can give the complete path of the file to open it and read the text into a string. Or you can open Windows File Explorer and provide the complete path of the file in the address bar to access the file. In both these cases, you need to build a variable with the complete path of the file so that you can use it to read the file. Hope this helps!
