: Uipath invoice extraction in Uipath PDF Automation is one of the industrial need and learning this skill will add a lot to your profile. Today, I am going to teach complete Uipath PDF Automation Tutorial.
The Goal of this Uipath Invoice Extraction (PDF AUTOMATION 2020 COMPLETE TUTORIAL) is as follows:
1. The bot should access all the pdfs from the folder
2. Collect all the data from the PDFs
3. Store them in an excel file
4 Move the individual pdfs to a destination folder
We are going to achieve this PDF automation by using couple of Uipath Core Activities. UiPath PDF Automation is the key skill to acquire!
We will start with Directory.GetFiles() uipath activities, For Each Loop Uipath Activity, Anchor Base, Add Data Row and Move File Activities.
The very critical activity in this UiPath PDF Automation is the Anchor Base. UiPath Anchor Base Activity is used along with Find Element or Find Image and Get Text Activity. Positioning the Find Element as Anchor and getting the target value may sound tough at certain situations. This can be achieved by hit and trail methods and testing to check if the correct element is retrieved or not!
In PDF Automation you also need to enable few adobe settings prior running the bot, even that has been shown in the video tutorial of Invoice Extraction. Uipath invoice extraction in PDF Automation will be your complete guide to build the bot and execute under practical situations.
Thank you for all your support and keep watching the channel videos!

Superb video. Explanation of each and every activity is very nice. I am beginner in Uipath.
Great Video, seeing things go wrong is very valuable to users as they can see how to fix the problems they are likely to come across. You are very thorough on your presentations which is great to see.
Thank you for sharing this tutorial!
The method using start application -> anchor base -> gettext is very visual and easy, however, it can get very slow too.
To make the process faster, I extract the data using "read PDF Text" and treated the hole thing using Data Manipulation commands, such as "Split" and "Replace". My project passed from a 37 second process to 7 second. it worths the try!
Wow thanks and great work
What a piece of example!! , it's a wonderful exercise thanks in advance ... greetings from Mexico

Hi,
Unable to use the 'get text' within the anchor base while reading the PDF files using the start process in the new version 2021.4.04. Is there any other ways to get text within the ANCHOR BASE along with the find element?
Thank you
Hi sir ,awesome explanation and i like the way which you followed in the entire video.thank you
Thank you 😊 Mohd.
Thanks for this informative video! :) Appreciate your explanation :)
Thanks Preethi
@@AutomatewithRakesh Hi Rakesh, Can I list out few interview questions for which I need answers. Thank you in advance!
Hi. Nice video. Thank you ! I followed your steps and it worked well for structured data with anchor base activity. I tried same process with computer vision. It worked well. Also you do not need to change adobe settings and no need to use ctrl+1 hot key.
It’s great to know how it helped you Praveen and also great to learn ! Please continue to share more findings
@@AutomatewithRakesh One question. Do you know how to data scrap website using find children activity. Ex:compass.com . They have links hidden in div. I can extract them from find children but not sure how to loop through different pages. Any clue will be helpful
Hi Rakesh, Very useful tutorial. Further come up with this kind of class
Sure
Getting stuck at the point where I need to extract the text. While it is extracting the text, but the name remains the same as the first text that was extracted. For example, if we use anchor base and add a find element as BilledTo and use Get text as "Nagesh Reddy", usig the Message box, the program is extracting the same Text "Nagesh Reddy" every time it opens a new PDF file. So what am I doing wrong.???
Can someone please tell me if there is any way to extract a page instead of an element? For example, after getting all the PDF files from a folder, I want to extract one specific page instead of an element. Is it possible? I tried using PDF range activity but it is only creating one extraction. I am new to RPA. Your help will be highly appreciated.
Hi, I was trying one of the exercise from your interview series and i observed that I was getting the For Each Row Activity previously which i am not getting now. I am getting For Each Row in DataTable . Is there any change in Uipath? What should i do to get For Each Row Activity
Very useful video and very detailed explanation .
Thank you 😊
Very good explanation. It really helps.
jayaseelan S Thank you very much😊
Hi Rakesh,
I am performing same scenario in my machine. But facing some issues. Every time in message box it display first pdf billto value. Even though it open all pdf. Please suggest
In Anchor base when we used find element and get text activities i am getting output like "AVLScrollView" instead the original output. how to fix this issue. Please help
Good bro
Hi Bro, at 15:08, may i know why you delete the idx attributes ? i think i've seen this step in some of your selector lesson, but i forgot on which lessons. Thank you Sir
Well explained video with very good example
Thank you Mayur
Hey! Is this free to use if working in a company? I get a lot of invoices and was curious to know if UiPath charges or is free to use for processing invoices conversion everyday. Please help
Sir, in anchor base when I try to display in msg box , it is looping through all invoices and displaying first name only . I corrected the selector aswell . Still it is not working. If I edit the selector of get text it is showing error as “the specified combination of selector , filter and scope is not supported “
me too
Great work
Thank you so much 😀
great work
Thank you so much
Hi Rakesh! great video! I am using anchor path to extract specific data from pdf. It works for a couple of pdf's but then it gives me an activity timeout error on the third pdf. Any idea why this might be happening?
It was helpful .👍
Thank you
Thank you so much for the helpful videos. I have successfully run this project task. I could see that you have done on extracting data from invoices for a specific vendor (UIPATH EXPOHUB). How do we approach the extraction process for invoices from multiple vendors? Do we need to create a program for each supplier, considering that invoices may come from various vendors? I'm seeking guidance on automating data extraction for multiple vendor invoices.
Do I need to use Adobe only or is it okay to use wps
Great explanation.. ✌😊
Thank you
Am not able to see the pdf settings you have made, when i try to find element or get text it is not allowing to select individual text , it is selecting whole sheet, please advice
Hello friend, first I want to thank you for your videos that are of great help to the community and wish you many successes in what you undertake, on the other hand I wanted to ask you a question, when I use the activity to obtain text, the entire PDF file is marked as a single box and it doesn't let me select the text I want, the same thing happens when using the get image activity, my question is? Should I configure something in Acrobar Reader? so that it allows me to select the text without problems.
I am facing the same issue, Have you got any solution?
Very well explained.. 👌
Thank you
While running the program, the GetTest content shows blank in message box. Why does it not read the text ? I'm using Anchorbase.
Hi Sir, Thank you for this post. Very useful. Kindly help, in case if I need to extract scanned PDF if it is rotated and also the PDF has both English and Multi Language. Which OCR is much suitable for this. thank you
Hi Rakesh, All your videos are great for learning. I have one request can you please build one of the video to Built a project in RE Framework for PDF Automation. Extract the data from PDF and write it into excel.
Is it tagged PDF? Tried with untagged PDF and it's not selecting invoice number but entire section. Although I used F3 to select only invoice number
Please suggest
Hi Rakesh, I understand the each step and activity, however while i am working in studio, for anchor base activity, the output is coming as TablePAgeViewer..how can i rectify this
Sir I had doubt I moving files from one folder to another folder and the folder path will assigned dynamically it will be time stamp
Really helpful for me , good job...
Can you please make one video for getting sum of two value from queue items..
Already uploaded! Watch our excel Automation Playlist
Excellent Bro
Thank you
Is this compulsory to have pdf editor to edit pdf settings?
Nice Explanation! one small doubt while working on this task with amazon invoice pdf, I couldn't able to indicate only "invoiceNumber" one element as particular. Insted of that it is indicating the below element as well. How to deal with this..
Thanks in advance :)
Sir i am trying to put my anchor base on left as my value is on right side. But still it's showing the value written in find element box.
here item var is an object type and CollectPDF is string type ..so how it is working ..?
Hi.....while doing pdf extraction from multiple files and then writing in text file. How to get all the content of multiple files in one text file? In my case what is happening is it is showing me the content of last pdf file. Basically it is overwritten. What can we do to solve this?
Hi @Automate with Rakesh, I have a doubt- I am using the generic selector to get 'Billed To' name from the sample pdf's. But it is always showing the first pdf name (everytime it opens a new pdf).
If I change the order of PDFs, it will show the Billed To name of the first pdf it opens.
Can you help?
You need to close all other PDFs so that the selector recognizes the current PDF correctly. The Close Application activity is useful for this purpose.
Hi,
Thanks for the video. Can you please let me know, what is the maximum number of fields we can extract from an Invoice ?. I am working with a solution and that solution can only extract 20 Index fields from any PDF document. Curious to know how many fields we can extract from an invoice using UIpath.
Hello sir, I could not download sample pdf files from drive. and then when I used find element activity it come as 'AVL_AVView'.Is capture entire pdf file and could not retrieve that. pls give solution for this issue
When i'm using GET FILES activity, it is asking about USE APPLICATIION/BROWSER. I'm using the USE APPLICATION/BROWSER activity and adding the image here. but getting error.
Please help me in this issue
Hlo sir , While running this PDF Automation , getting error like this -
Attach Browser 'acrord32.exe Invoice': Invalid selector: . Expected a selector. Please make sure that you indicate a browser tab element.
Can you pls help on this.
Do you have acrobat reader ?
Thanks Rakesh... How do I learn UI Rpa from step 1... from you channel.. Is there any marking in sequence of your videos. Pls reply ...as your teaching is very clear...
What selector are you using for Amount Due 'Get Text' on the bottom of the page? I have used anchor base with Find Element and a Get Text but it is not returning anything.
Here is my selector for Find Element:
Any advise?
Looks to me it's an issue with the PDF document and I hope you have followed all the pre instructions in adobe settings. Please check once again if they are applied properly and try to use any of the selector - Get Text or Find element. If nothing works for exercise purpose please use any other pdf document you may have ! The selector generally fails if PDF was not made out of adobe pro.
Only use "Get Text" Activity and need to make some changes in the selector
Thank you for your step by step explanation...can you make a video on extracting data from multiple pages of a PDF file...like extract table data across multiple pages of a pdf file, specific value which may be present at any page of a pdf file.
Sure, will try to create one
Ya it will help a lot
Suppose i have some random resumes with different file extensions and different format in one folder..how we can extract data in resumes in table format..like name,experience,DOB etc..
In this particular situation the automation is quite difficult to build because every time the input and the resumes are random and data is not enough in consistent manner so the situation is not ideal for an RPA
1) We do not need to create variable for find element (In Anchor Base) ?
2) I tried by using Get Text activity but was not able to make it, Could u plz make a video for this?
i have the same scenario but the invoice formats are different..
can u help on this pls..
Also one request from all of your students..please cover hyperautomation and citrix also.... We all want to learn from your teachings please it is humble request
Prithvi Vishwanath sure, I need to set up infrastructure to be able to demonstrate, will try and plan
Great video.
Could you help to make a video to show using Uipath PDF Automation to rearrange (to the correct order) a PDF file that the pages are not in the sequential order (according to the page number at the bottom of the pages).
