Is this possible by using BP/Decipher?

Hi Krishna.

I want to be certain I understand what you are looking for. Are you trying to hide the value in the data verification screen or do you want to hide it from the downstream process?

Can you provide more information?

Thanks

Thanks Jack for reply

I want.....

Edit pdf file by hiding desired value
Save it at desired location

Is it feasible either by BP process OR by Using Decipher ?

Thanks

HI Krishna.

If you want to read the PDF using Decipher, mask the value, and then save the PDF in a specified location, then Decipher is not the tool you want. Decipher will read values but it does not allow you to edit the PDF.

If you want to simply hide the value in the data verification step, in the DFD you can set a flag for the field in question to "Hidden" which makes the field invisible in the form view.

If you want to read the values from the PDF but NOT pass the data to BP, you can flag the field as "Non-Exportable" which means the field will not get passed to BP.

Are any of my three scenarios what you are trying to accomplish?

Thanks Jak for suggestion

I will not be able to achieve my requirement here with Decipher.

I may need to look options from BP Process perspective, any light on this angle ?

Thanks

Hi Krishna.

So you want to read the PDF, mask the field, and then save it. Is that correct? If so, then take a look at the DX. You'll have to look through the assets to see if any of them offer the features you need. I did a quick look and found this one: Blue Prism Digital Exchange

It says it allows you to modify the PDF which I think is what you are going for.

See what you can find out there and good luck.
