Type into activity writing string incorrectly

I have a process that iterates through an excel and fills out a fillable PDF according to the information in the cells. I recently noticed that the type into activity seems to be writing the string data incorrectly into the fields on the PDF.

Example:
What should be written

What was written

It spelt Broadview wrong, didn’t capitalize the J for JN and it missed LLC

I’m not sure why this started to happen as my process has not changed since being built and working. Is there a setting in Adobe that needs to be turned on to work with UiPath? It is not Adobe Services but using the PDF activities instead.

here is the type into setup:

Hi @atarantino

Please have log messages print before type into activity to print the value that you are going to type into.

Or you can run in debug mode and watch from locals panel what value was fetched and going into type into activity.

Then for missing letters in type into activity, put some delay under delay between keys property of type into.

This would ensure no letters gets missed.

Hi,

In hardware event mode, it happens on rare occasions in some environment.

Can you try Keyboard Shortcut (Ctrl+V) and SetToClipboard instead of TypeInto as the following?

Hello @atarantino ,

Sometimes set text activity helps.

Try using and let me know if that didn’t work.

@atarantino Please verify the value for “CurrentRow.ByIndex(6).ToSting” either from the immediate panel or within Log Message.

To write down the string in multiple lines you can use below expression
Var1+vbNewLine+Var2
“BroadView Energy JN,”+vbNewLine+“LLC”
