When debugging, the message box did not show the text getting from [Get Text]activity.
Why and how to let message box show the selected text?

Hi @Dingkun_Yang

Please try to add some delay between get total (get text) activity , and the message box .
Also try to check the selector where you are reading the text.

Thanks

Below [Edit Selector] shows the selector doesn’t get the selected text, right?
Where other places should be checked?

@Dingkun_Yang,

It simply means your get text activity not getting the value extracted.

Check the selectors

Thanks,

@Dingkun_Yang,

Click on highlight to see if it’s highlighting the desired field

It isn’t.

@Dingkun_Yang

On pdf use get ocr text or read pdf ocr instead of simple get text

Pdf would not have fields so get text might not work

Cheers
