Hi Aiman,

Would opening the PDF in Word, and then having Word save the document in .XML format do the trick?

Happy coding!

Hi @AimanNishat ,

One way of achieving this is by leveraging code stage in blue prism.

1. Makes sure below namespaces are imported in your object

Imports System
Imports System.Collections.Generic
Imports System.Text
Imports Bytescout.PDFExtractor
Imports System.Diagnostics

2. Call below code in your code stage

Dim extractor As New XMLExtractor()
extractor.RegistrationName = "demo"
extractor.RegistrationKey = "demo"
' Load sample PDF document
extractor.LoadDocumentFromFile("test.pdf")
extractor.SaveXMLToFile("output.XML")

Hi @Saumitra_KumarS

Did you place the dll file at location "C:\Program Files\Blue Prism Limited\Blue Prism Automate" ?

Hi @Sonam Sharma,

is this safe to use? also i noticed that after trying this code, the XML has this "Produced with ByteScout PDF Extractor SDK v13.3.0.4514 [TRIAL]" . Does this mean it can only be used for a few tries and need to pay for a subscription?

just wanted to know as it will be used to PDFs with personal details. Thanks in advance

Bytescout PDF Extractor seems to be a paid product and I can see a free trial.

Ed Kristoferson Geronimo you should check Adobe PDF Toolkit available on DX.
