Hi Team, I am trying to get the “total” value from PDF using “Get Text” Activity. But in ourput is “AVPageView”

Also I checked the selector there also "title=‘AVPageView’. What could be the issue.

I am sorry for that raising so many queries.

I have attached the selector screen and pdf page.

Hi @Kalaisri_K

The selector is identifying a significant part of page not only the total. and for pdf it is better to use read pdf text and then use split activity/Regex to get your total

cheers

Hi @Kalaisri_K why you are not using the read pdf text activity here ? It’s easy to get text by regex after read pdf.

Hello @Kalaisri_K

Will it be possbile to share a sample file here? If its a native pdf, Get Text should work. If you can share a sample, we can check.

Thanks
