I am using PDF: Extract Text action to extract text from editable pdf filled by user.

When I use filled pdf to extract text it only extract labels from that pdf not values of that labels.

I used

  • PDF: extract Image
  • OCR: Capture image by path
  • Log to file

But it is not extracting proper text from image.

problems occurs in extract text of label having check boxes as values.

 

what are best way to extract clean and as it is text from editable pdf/ image .

 

Thanks in advance

Hi @Rajkumar Jagdale​ 

 

If you use PDF: Extract Text and if the required text is visible in the text file, we can then read the text file and use regex to get what we want.

Please provide some sample data so that we can test that approach, or you can do it from your end.

 

Kind Regards,

PDF: Extract gives only labels not its values.
