PDF extraction with checkbox field

[AmruthaSivaraja]

Hi All,

Can you assist me in finding a solution to extract data from a PDF without relying on external applications, as my organization requires the use of only Blue Prism approved objects and native tools?
I have attempted using Global Send Keys, but it doesn't seem to work well for capturing data from the PDF, which includes text boxes, multi-line fields, and checkboxes. Also, there is a possibility of rearranging the field positions in the future, making it inappropriate to use field position references for data extraction. The PDF can have more than 3 pages.
Is there any alternative method that allows for capturing data, including checkbox values, in a more efficient manner?
Sample of the fields are shown below.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Amrutha,

Once you fetch the data after that you can use Excel macro to read the exact value
