Read table data from PDF in Pega robotics
Hi Team,
I need to read to tabular format data from a PDF in automation. I'm using PDF connector and tried different ways using PDF word, Segment, Reading by PDF line. None of them gave exact result. If you have already worked on PDF reading, can you please shed some light on this requirement.
Thanks.

Thanks for the response.
For the use case we are working on, PDFViewer might not be the best fit - as the user don't interact with PDF during run time.
I have tried different methods with PDFConnector, like FindRelativeSegment, FindRelativeWord etc.. Which are not providing required result when reading from table content in PDF.
Issue is, When table cell has multiple words in different lines, i'm able to get content of first line only.
eg : Table cell 1 has text ,
FirstName
LastName
When i read it, I want to get whole cell content.
Please let me know if you did not get what i'm trying to achieve.
Do we need to use any third party DLL like iTextSharp to achieve this ?
Thanks.

Hi Sharath,
Till where were you successful in reading data from PDF present in table format.
I have a requirement of reading some values from a PDF editable form. Kindly guide me on how to start interrogating or reading the rows and filling values in them field-wise.
