UiPath Extract PDF Text & Save to Excel Example
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 авг 2020
- Here's how can get PDF text and have UiPath save the data to Excel. This example demonstrates how you can loop through multiple PDF files in UiPath, use an Anchor Base activity to extract PDF text data, and then use a UiPath Excel activity to save the extracted PDF text to Excel. It's all done in UiPath studio, and while it sounds like a lot of work, you'll be surprised just how easy the task of reading a PDF and saving to Excel with UiPath actually is.
Camaron, I'm from Brazil and right now I'm on a project using UiPath and your video saved me. Thank you very much!!
As a Brazilian you should know that only Jesus saves. But I am certainly happy to have helped!
This is an amazing video, really informative - Thank you!
Thanks for the kind words!
Excellent thanks a lot....👍
Hi Cameron McKenzie, Your video is really interesting and this made me to practically use the UI Path. I was able to understand the complete video and was trying to execute it, however, while getting the start process, i am unable to use the command file.tostring. It shows come error stating that the reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference. Can you please help me through using the command file.tostring, as to how do i go about it.
Hey @ Cameron how to select multiple cells or range from multiple excel file one by one and Paste in Transpose mode in one excel automatically using Uipath ??
thanks it helps me a lot
So glad it could help out. UiPath is really amazing!
Does Ubuntu os supports uipath studio?
Thank you so much for this video! I did not check the Title in the first anchor but the excel sheet keeps storing the pdf titles only
Any chance the PDF isn't tagged? If it's not, you have to use OCR. :(
Hi Cameron,
Thanks for your efforts..
Does anchor base works with web or just PDF files ?
Thanks again
Indeed! In fact, many people are surprised that you can use them on PDFs, because they've only ever used them with web pages.
Hi Cameron, I'm trying to follow your instructions using UiPath StudioX 2023.4.1 but I get lost at the second step. Are commands and menu voices so different from the time you recorded this tutorial?
Hey Cameron Good day to you, This is Richard, i am continuously watching your session, just need you expertise for some project that we need to provide with Event Viewer. Step1 Type in the Event Viewer on the search tab, press enter Step 2: Double click Windows logs and click Application. Step 3 is the critical part that i cannot figure out. Client wants me to only get the "Error" without using the Filter logs. they want me to get the data for all Error for "Date and time", "Source" , "Event ID" and the message in "General" automatically save it to Excel file. what function in UI path do i need to use? filtering the log for error will have more or less 2899 datas that need to be extracted. Appreciate your help.
The attach window not available after instal UIPATH.UIAUTOMATION
I run this step by step project but error show system.io.iexception
Not assess excel file
What if pdf have multiple pages?
Thank you very much for the tutorial, well can you also show how to copy multiple rows from one pdf files and save to excel row by row
Your wish is my command, Mr. Bandara. This tutorial extracts specific text, as you mention. To get a row of data you would use the UiPath data scrape facility, and here's the link to that tutorial. If you have data in rows you would use the data scrape. If you have individual fields, you use the extract data UiPath activity. And obviously, with a typical invoice, you would combine the two activities together to get all of the information you need. Here's the tutorial where I grab rows from a PDF invoice with UiPath and write to Excel. Enjoy!

@@krishanbandara198 What data are you trying to pull out of it?
@@cameronmcnz Sir, actually I want to extract all data from pdf to excel using UIPath , is there any way to do that sir ? , Thank you
how would you extract data that doesn't have a consistent anchor text across all the pdf's in the immediate vicinity of the text string you want to extract
Without a predictable pattern, you can't. You need some way to consistently identify the text. If not, you may have to go to OCR and regular expressions, or worse, use AI, which is a whole other ball of yarn.
Hi Cameron, will this possible to be implemented using StudioX instead of Studio ?
I'm not sure if any of the features I used here are unavailable in StudioX.
Thank you for your kind reply, currently learning uipath studio without programming background :D, do you have any basic programming video/book recomendation that relates with UIPath studio ?
