Reg. Adobe acrobat API

[dhivyas]

Hi All,

I’m new to BP. So I want toread the content from pdf, I couldn’t see any vbo for launching pdf document and reading text via ocr. All the videos in internet are referring to reading the contents of a pdf via internet explorer instance.

Could anyone please suggest/guide me how to launch the pdf, is there any api available?

Also, please note it’s a standard document with no image available inside the pdf document.

Even I have the same requirement, can anybody help us with the Adobe API to read the PDF contents without opening it.

Hi @dhivyas @Shivam Rastogi
Launch it through any browser and try to automate them with send keys
Then u can access pdf document may b read by ur Blue Prism.

Thanks for your reply @Manikanta , but I have a different requirement where i dont want to open the pdf using send keys, I just want to search for a particular term in the pdf. using send keys increases the time for my process. Let me know if there is any other approach that we can take to solve for this.
