PDF Activities

The PDF activity package is related to those activities that are designed to extract the data from the PDF and XPS files and then store these files into the string variables. This data can also be extracted by the whole document or via the range of pages specified under the range property, which is found in every activity.

The data extraction can be achieved with the help of OCR based activities, In case of scanned documents. There are three types of OCR engines that exist in UiPath Studio are given below:
