Hi Shubham,

Thanks for the reply, i have similar print window, however the issue is which particular activity i can use? while using get text, screen scrapping , i am not able to point to this element . even when i capture it by using select image region, i can not validate as regex wildcard. not able to point to the element, its picking complete bar.

Hi @Siddarth_Nagarabenchi

After opening the pdf in the print window, you can see the number of pages present in the pdf file in the top right corner.

Hi @Siddarth_Nagarabenchi

in UiExplorer you can toggle b/w different UI Frameworks like default, active accessbility and UI Just change to active accessiility and then see whether it is highlighted or not

Hi All, Thanks for your answers, I have used Get text, where element was able to detect, and Screen scrapping where element was not detecting, however i finally found the element using open ui explorer. So finally i got the count with this approach and its working fine, thanks all for your inputs.
