Hi @sriniprad08 ,

try pointing your folder browse tool to the lightning bolt of the image input tool instead of the 'Q'. This should add an action tool automatically, which you can configure to replace the PDF directory value.

Hi @sriniprad08 ,

your configuration looks fine and doesn't throw an error on my side. Can you share a screenshot of the error?

...btw, nice workflow documentation!

Hi @sriniprad08 ,

good to see that there is only an error for the output tool left!

You set a relative path as the output path: "_externals\1\Location_Sentence.xlsx|||Location_Count". When I open it on my side, it throws the same error as yours because the folder doesn't exist on my laptop. Either make sure the folder path exists (_externals\1\), or remove that part so the Excel will be written where the workflow is saved ("Location_Sentence.xlsx|||Location_Count" as output path).

Hope this helps!
