    Hi @Tayyab Hussain​ ,

     

    Think you using wrong command to get the output in the text file,

     

    Using the Extract text action

    Use the Extract text action to extract text from a PDF file and save it as a text file.

     

    Using the Extract field action

    Use the Extract field action to extract fields from a PDF and assign it to variables.

     

    i'd suggest you to checkout documentation and some tutorials and then start building the bots,

    Hi-

     

    Followed the instructions and named the variable as Test. But, still unable to locate the converted file. I thought the out put would be a directory path.
