Selectors fail in VM + pdf

[Sairam_RPA (Mr.Robot)]

I have an automation where I need to convert pdf to word. It takes sometime for bot to export pdf document to word with adobe pro.

I have a get attribute activity which checks for “Relative Visibility”. only once the conversion is done it returns the value as true.

This check works on my machine but not in VM.

How can I solve this issue. Did anyone face this kind of issue? How did you resolve it ?

Hi

I would recommend to check and make sure that the VM has the same version of Adobe Acrobat Pro installed as your local machine.

But we can do with some vb methods
Have a view on this zip file for pdf to word conversion

Hope this helps

Convert PDF to Word Document

Hi @raychel.hall , Could you check with the below workflow : PDF_To_Word.zip (126.0 KB) It uses Interop.Word methods to convert the PDF to word. At times, it does not give the output as required considering overlapping of words with images, getting text as images in the converted word document. However, you could check with your PDF document and let us know if it was helpful for your case.
