Please help to resolve this issue.

Hi @deepak99,

I facing this problem same with you when using adobe reader
For my solution: I using [Maximize Window] activity before run OCR to get text from PDF.

I hope it would be useful for you

How can I resolve the UI element problem.

[deepak99 (Deepak Manglani)]

Nope. I am also maximizing it before scrapping.

[Natapong (Natapong Raojutitam)]

This problem occurred when scroll page?
Please try to use key Up or Down to scroll page in PDF reader.
It’s slow but sure

Do you use wildcard in your selector when Maximize Window?

I am getting the UI element error while scrapping data from Pdf file in Get OCR activity.

[deepak99 (Deepak Manglani)]

No I am not getting this error in Scroll.
I am getting this error in Screen Scrapping.

@deepak99

Please try to use click activity or click image to click some area in PDF page, before you run screen scraping.

For sample:

I hope it would be useful for you
