Hi, you have to use loop stage to iterate. Something like below

1. read the files into a collection.
2. Open adobe reader
Loop start
3. Open file
4. Read the lines of the file
5. Close the file
Loop end
6. Close adobe reader

hello,

Use Utility File Management VBO, Get Files action

Inputs:
Folder: Folder path
Patterns CSV: "*.pdf" (this will get all the files with pdf extension)

This will output a collection with File Names, File Path, Extension, Bytes, etc.,
