Hello Everyone,  3 days back I did PDF automation where I was extracting data from PDF to BP. That worked successfully and extracted expected data but when I am again running the same object today its not working. Can someone please help on this? Thanks in advance.

Hi Avadhesh, If you extract text from the PDF with OCR it means you're using region mode (Surface Automation). Did you already try saving the read area as image, to verify that you are indead reading out the right area that contains the actual data? If so, did you try increasing the Scale on the read stage which Reads the Text with OCR? If you're working with scans, verify with previously succesfully handled scans if there are changes in position (Rotations, slight move of) or quality.

If ever there was an advertisement for the need to do lots of testing for data extraction (OCR or otherwise) this is it.  You need to test your logic against 10's or 100s (if possible) documents before signing it off as usable.
