Great video!

Hey DK! Many thanks 😀🙏

[@carlosraziel7141]

Hi! Thanks a lot for the great video :) How can I do de same task but with Power Automate? (Sorry for my english).

[@andersjensenorg]

Hey Carlos. You can't directly. But you could use a plugin (I'm not sure which, maybe Plumsail). Kind regards, Anders

Hi Anders, great video thanks for sharing this! I encountered an error when I tried to use this solution for one of my PDF files which has 75 pages. It just so happens that page 74 (second last page of the pdf) contains page 1 of an invoice and page 75 (last page of pdf file) contains page 2 of the same invoice. Uipath produces an error during the 'Read PDF Text' activity advising that the specified argument was out of the range of valid values. Do you by any chance have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

Hi Anders, thank you for your great videos. I have a challenge in which I have to remove a footer text from every page on some pdf documents. and extract a paragraph from the document. some parts of the footer texts are dynamic. Thanks

[@andersjensenorg]

Hey Alpha. Thanks a lot and thanks for the question. At the moment, I’m on paternity leave, meaning I don’t produce videos and solve problems until the 23rd of August. Feel free to post the problem at my Discord, where many bright automation minds are gathered: kzbin.info/door/Pdtz4gd_iYebJFYq9N8pWAcommunity?lb=UgxD1Qe9lWKL1I7HyAJ4AaABCQ Kind regards, Anders

I clicked this video because I was hoping it could help me with my situation but I have a opposite problem. I have a pdf that has multiple buyers on one page, over a couple of pages. I would like to split the pages by each "buyer:", but each page has 4 byers on it. Will this method help for this problem?

[@andersjensenorg]

Hey Koos. Sure. Then we need to find some unique word, where we wanna split, e.g. "Buyer". Kind regards Anders

[@koosschutter1675]

@@andersjensenorg Thank you for reply I'll try it. I tried it previously with the previous video you did on splitting pdf but didn't work but I will now try it by using this method.

[@andersjensenorg]

Ah, Koos. Then I misunderstood. What you have to do is to apply Regex to split the string, where you now will have the individual as ienumerables.

[@koosschutter1675]

@@andersjensenorg The unique word I want to use is "buyer", but there are four on one page because there are four buyers, so I want to split one page into four pdf files.

Once I kickoff the bot is ends right away.

[@andersjensenorg]

Hey Jeff. That one is hard to troubleshoot. Do you get an error message? Kind regards, Anders

[@shubzdaj]

@@andersjensenorg I used your example to build out the process, thanks it really helped. The only issue I get is in the while loop when the bot gets to the end of the PDF count it throws an error ReadPDFText: Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. Parameter name: Range my quess is it has to track the count to break the loop?
