I am trying to get PDF tables in excel for further processing in Automation anywhere.I tried it like converting PDF to text and then to excel but it not working as required.
Please suggest if anyone did this.
Thanks all who replied and tried to help.
But, i got the solution as there is bot already for this in botstore of AA and we can use it.
We can use this metabot and logic to perform action.
PFB link for the same:

I think you can use OCR inbuild tool or PDF read tools and take those data items into the variables. And then try to use keystrokes (or other) to add those variables as text in textfile. As well as add those items to the excel sheet. try it.

First-timer here trying to modify code to fit my needs without any coding training. I borrowed the following google sheet to pdf mailto script from another poster (Kelvin Chong).
I am able to successfully send an email to myself with an attached PDF, but the PDF is blank. I'm apparently missing something when it comes to the script retrieving the active spreadsheet. The Google Sheet I am trying to send as a PDF is only a single sheet and I have tried both the SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl() and SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet() options. Neither method gives me an error when I run the script and, like I said, it emails me a PDF...it's just blank. Oh, and yes, when running the openByUrl I did enter the URL of the spreadsheet and have checked to make sure it is open for anyone to view.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Nevermind...I figured it out through some trial and error. Basically, the original programmer wrote the script so that it would send a zip file. Another programmer modified the script so that it would only send an individual sheet. When I started tinkering, I noticed that the zip file would have a blank page and then the actual pdf. Once I realized this, I just tinkered a little with the code to only focus on that second sheet. All is well now!
I need to read the fdf file to get the list options (via getListOptionDisplay) for a combo box, but when I invoke the getAcroFields method on the fdfReader, the fields come back as empty. I'm using an older version (2.1.2), any suggestions or code samples?
Figured it out. I couldnt use the inherited methods, but I reviewed the fdfReader object in the debugger and was able to extract the information.
I am trying to create a Microsoft Word file in VB.net which is read only.
My aim is that user will input the data in a Windows form, after pressing export button it'll get exported to a Word document. But here's a twist: I want this Word file to be read only.
Is there any option to do this? I have tried exporting through Crystal Report, but its still editable.
Any help would be appreciated.
You can use the File.SetAttributes method for that, I think. Check the MSDN site.
I have written a code which utilizes Word Automation Service in order to convert the .DOCX file to the .PDF. I have noticed that in case the Word document contains a table of contents, its links are removed in the PDF. This is very bad for my business case.
On the other hand, manually opening MS Word and saving the same document as PDF preserves the links in the table of contents. This is the behavior I am looking for, but I want to keep my code independent form having MS Office Word installed on the machine running my code.
Has anyone had the similar issue and was anybody able to resolve it?
In my case, i found out that this is something related to Job Settings property. Try to comment or remove this line of code if you have one:
jobSettings.UpdateFields = true;
I would like to read text from 3 text paragraphs & use the text to create a slideshow of 3 slides - each with a paragraph programatically.
Is it possible? Do I need to use openoffice, libreoffice or something else?
I have googled a lot, but could not find any answer. Hence, posting the question on SO.
Thanks.
Openoffice has a bridge called Uno which can be used from python, java (and probably more), i.e. you can manipulate openoffice documents from an external program, it's however non-trivial to use it.
Another possibility is to use OpenOffice.org BASIC.
