  • 1.  GET PDF Region Text

    Posted Sat November 06, 2021 04:20 AM
    Hi,

    When dealing with structure document (fixed format), I can use the GET PDF Region Text to capture the field value just select the region area, however I do need to store the capture status (boolean) whether is True or False, I found there is no option at below. If using GET PDF Text by OCR then I can find it.

    Not sure if we can adding special option at script level?.

    Thanks.

    Hi Sonny,

    You are right, I would expect GET PDF Region Text to return a success status as well.  Otherwise, you don't know whether the scanned region contained zero text or RPA could not read the text.  We'll note this as a defect.  In the meantime, as you have already suggested,  you can use get PDF Text by OCR to get the same functionality.
