[mnkyboii]

If you can select that element in the PDF then you can use the Highlight activity directly: https://activities.uipath.com/lang-en/docs/highlight

If you can’t find a stable and appropriate selector for the area you’re interested in you can use:

• Find Text Position ( https://activities.uipath.com/lang-en/docs/find-text )
  or
• Find OCR Text Position ( https://activities.uipath.com/lang-en/docs/find-ocr-text )
  or even
• Find Image ( https://activities.uipath.com/docs/find-image )
  All these activities have an Output property of type UiElement (sometimes called UiElement, Element or FoundElement - the UiPath developers are almost as good as PHP developers at naming things)
  You need to put that property into a variable which you can then pass to the Highlight activity, in the Element property.

Here’s how the Find Text Position is set up:

And here is how the Highlight activity is set up:
