https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Read-protected-secured-PDF/m-p/66324#M18929 Hi all! I have several PDF files which are secured, this is, they cannot be copy/pasted. However, they are sercheable since I am able to select the text, search words, etc. Basically, they are Word files converted to PDF files and then protected to avoid people copy text or extract text. I am looking for a way to extract all text from a PDF file of this kind. Anyone has dealed with this issue? Thanks in advance!   Marina   Fri, 23 Nov 2018 13:41:00 GMT Anonymous 2018-11-23T13:41:00Z https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Read-protected-secured-PDF/m-p/66324#M18929 Hi all!
