Hi @rojda dilan küpeli​ ,

 

Have you tried "PDF: Extract field" command? Using this you can fetch the required fields.

 

Extracts field from a PDF file and assigns it to a string variable

Hi @rojda dilan küpeli​ ,

 

The page looks Form, so you can use the https://automationanywhere4.blogspot.com/2021/06/FormFieldExtraction.html/p>

 

or

 

Once you get details from PDF using PDF: Extract Text, you can string manipulation to get the required string.

 

I believe the yellow highlighted words are standard, In this case, use Before After action from the string package to get the string.
