PDF interaction

ALEKHJAIN — Wed, 08 Mar 2017 15:22:00 GMT

Hi Everyone, I have to automate a process where in a PDF of 400 pages I have to specifically find for few keywords and for every match for any of the keyword, the O/P should be : >Keyword >Complete sentence containing keyword >Associated page number >Nearest header at top of section. Template of PDF is like : Header 1 (in Bold) Line1 Line2 . . . Line 3 Header 2 (In Bold) . . . and so on... Please advise how can I achieve this or search for text in between the headers without hardcoding

What do you mean by "readable using BP6.7"?

Generally speaking, if you are able to, by hand, copy and paste the text that you need from the PDF, then Blue Prism should be able to as well. If the PDF is actually an image (and not selectable text), then you'll need to use surface automation techniques and OCR in order to extract that data.
