Hi Rakesh,

Its difficult to identify the characters/words from handwritten PDF document using BP, because of following main reasons;
1. Need to consider the density/pixel rate of the scanned PDF document
2. Is PDF has free text or standard structure
3. Hand writing is different from individual to individual
4. Type of data provided say for example, Date is written as DD/MM/YY or DD-MM-YYYY or dd.mmm.yyyy or any more formats

I'm just putting my thought as a solution, you can design the automation in such a way that manually decode the handwritten PDF into Excel/ Sharepoint/ Email. Then bot picks up the decoded data and starts processing.

Hope for some solutions on this.

Regards.
