Hello @Karan28 ,

Are you using Read PDf Text activity?
Or you’re opening each file from folder and scrape the tex from it?

Can you provide a screenshot?

Can you just try to change the version of activity or can u check with other file other than u are checking (2nd file). If the file is corrupted it might throw this error.

I have 4 pdf files and Read pdf text activity is reading only the first pdf. not the other pdfs. I dont thing there is some issue with the other pdfs

[KarthikBallary]

Here UiPath is able to read the first attached pdf only not the other ones. Also I ahve check the pdf activity package version , it is up to date

@Karan28 your first pdf file is non editable pdf but your second pdf file is editable. I think you need to go for document understanding for this type of file. Is your Adobe is lic?

Editable PDFs data not recognized

Hello, I’m having trouble with UiPath being unable to read an editable PDF filled with information. I’ve tried screen scraping, get text, and the anchor base funcionality. Here are the PDF files in question: Unfilled PDF Dummy filled PDF Currently the workflow follows this structure: Open a PDF filled with an individual’s information Read the information filled by the individual in the Editable PDF Output the information read into different variables for later processing Any idea on what…

[Karan28 (Karan Arora)]

Okay , is there any other way?

[wasea (Vasile)]

Hello @Karan28 ,

I did a quick test and if you reprint the PDF file (Print to PDF), the printed one works OK, UiPath can read it.

Not sure if this is feasible for you, but is a good workaround.

(I have Acrobat PRO, tried to export that file in xml, txt, rich text, for all of them same issue)

I hope it helps.

Vasile.

Yes I saved the input files again using print and it worked now.
Thankyou so much for the solution
