Hello priya, You can use Global send keys to read text from pdf. Firstly you have to identify the region of text in region editor then you can send mouse clicks using Global send keys to select the text. Then send keys to to copy selected text and use getclipboard() method in calculation stage to read the copied text that's it you're done. Hopefully this will help.

How to select the text from pdf without using OCR ?

[Denis__Dennehy]

The guide i mentioned is relevant to whatever you are doing with a PDF - either the entire document or just one field, the techniques are the same.
