PDF Extraction

_VigneshRaja_
7 - Meteor

Please assist me to extract the data from PDF files using AIS tools, its working good if the data's are placed in proper index. its not working if there is a change in alignment of the data. I have attached the zip file with the samples and workflow. In this sample, am trying to extract the data for Client 3.

Hi @_VigneshRaja_ ,

 

The template parses the pdf at the exact coordinates specified in the template. If your positions change, you can try another method by parsing the whole pdf and extract the data from there.

 

Attached you can find an example with your pdf's. Unfortunately, it completely misses Client 3, but works fairly well for the rest. I guess this is due to the orange highlighting in the PDF, can you remove the highlighting and try it again?
