Hi!

We have two types of pdf’s 1.Native PDF 2.Scanned PDF

Native PDF:

Native PDF is nothing but where we can select the text and extract the text by using read pdf activity.

Scanned PDF:

Scanned pdf where we can not select the text which is the type of image for extracting the text from this kind of PDF’s we can use Read Pdf with OCR use the Tesseract OCR engine to extract the text from scanned pdf.

Hi @Buvaneshwaran_R

In your case just delete that corrupted PDF and replace the new PDF file

Before Using both Read PDF and Read Pdf with OCR

Use delay activity → 00:00:05

Hi @Buvaneshwaran_R

You can try to RollBack the package

Go to ->Manage packages → UiPath.Pdf.Activities

Can you share the sample PDF file. Not the original one
