Unable to extract table data from PDF using generative Extractor

[pradnyajadhav0712]

Hi All,

I want to extract table data using generative extractor.

I have created a taxonomy and defined the Table field with column names. please refer the attached screenshot.

To provide a prompt, generative extractor is not displaying the field Table and its column names. It is only displaying the document type (Which is PDF).

Please help me if I am missing something

Thanks in advance

Hi @Mohan_Reddy, Thanks for your response.

I referred the video but In that Lahiru has used Extract Document data Activity. I want to use the Generative Extractor. Both are the different activities.

I don’t have UiPath Studio version 2023 so, I can’t use Extract document data activity. This activity is not working in 2022.10.5 version. So, I am trying Generative extractor activity which will work in 2022.10.5 studio version.

Please let me know how I can retrieve table data using Generative extractor.

Thanks

Hi @Mohan_Reddy,

Hi @Mohan_Reddy,

I think the screenshots you shared are of Extract document data activity.
Extract document data activity is able to retrieve the table data but still I am not getting table field prompt using generative extractor.

Thanks,
