Hi All ,

I am not able to read PDF file in blue prism it is new for me .I tried to perform the task with two ways

1)launch the internet explorer and pass the path of the PDF file but unable to spy the PDF .
2)Launch the window application with the adobe reader exe file but again i am facing the same issue i.e unable to read the PDF file .

Is there any other way in the blue prism to work with the PDF .

Thanks

You should be able to open up a PDF with IE. I do it all the time with version 11. But regardless of this, PDFs come in two flavors. If the PDF content is an image of a document you will need to try OCR. If it has content that can be selected (Ctrl+A) you can select all of the content copy to the clipboard then paste into a text data object for further processing.

Hello,

how is it possible to spy elements on a pdffile when opening Pdf Reader?
I have problems in spying elements.
'There was an error during the spying operation.' and no attributes are returned.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

cami
