Hi,

I have been using the extract PDF text quite sometime already but recently I found out the "Create command" button grey out not allow to create the command
at RPA. Kindly advise anyone have the same problem.

I create a test PDF with 2 line of information to extract. I recently uninstall & install latest studio 21.0.3

Thanks.

Hi Sonny,

Apparently, in your case, you could use "Region Select" because with it you get the text of the fixed region of the PDF.

1. Click Text option
2. Select the area want you can obtain the text

The "Extract Pdf Text" tool, this tool is used when the text you want doesn't have a fixed position, then you enter an anchor word, and according to this word you map the region you want the text.
Steps:

1. (Blue) Select the entire area where you want to search the word.
2. Enter the word to find
3. Click on the Anchor icon > Preview
4. (Green) If you locate the word, it will turn green
5. (Yellow) Now choose the area you want to get the text
6. Click Create Command
