Hi @manoj_verma1

If it is a plain text pdf you can use Read PDF activity

You might need to use Regex, depends on the text you are generating to extract the address

Thanks,

Hi @manoj_verma1

Use the read pdf Text for structured pdf and use read pdf text with OCR for unstructured pdf and use any OCR engine inside the read pdf text with OCR. The output is stored in a string variable.

Let the String variable write in a text file then use the regex expressions to extract the output address.
Use the Match activity to use the regex expressions.

Hope it helps!!

Hi @manoj_verma1

If it is a scanned document use read pdf with ocr otherwise use Read pdf text activity.
Then by using regex you will get the required fields.

Hi @manoj_verma1 ,

If your string has static address format, You can regex to get address.

For example your address pincode will be 6 char, use below expression.

System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match(yourStringhere,"^.*?\b\d{6}\b").Value

or share address format if possible

Thanks!

Regexr is the more preferred one. In Regex 101 it will not accept the Look behind function.
Open the below link to navigate to Regexr

(https://regexr.com/)

Hope it helps!!
