* Represents mandatory fields to execute the workflow

Here's an example of how the “TextExtractor” activity works in the workflow –

The following is a simple example that demonstrates how to extract the content
from the specified pages of the provided input PDF document.

1.       Create a solution for building a workflow.

2.       Install the "PDF Automation" feature from the "Manage Features" menu.

3.       Drag and drop the "TextExtractor" activity onto the designer pane and set it as
the “Start Node.”

4.       Double-click the activity to provide the essential details.

a.       Here, I am providing the “InputFilePath” as the path of my PDF document to
read and extract the text from the PDF.

b.       Navigating to the “Range” in the properties to specify the page range to
extract.

i.      Here I am specifying the page range as “2”.

c.       Now, moving to the “Text” in the output section of the properties to
declare a variable to store the output in a variable.

i.      There are two methods to store the spied value in the variable.

ii.      Method 1: Double-click on the variable parameter “Text” in the “Output”
section and enter a name that helps you easily identify it in the flow. Here,
I'm using the name "Test" and using the shortcut key "Ctrl+Q" to create
the variable.

iii.      Method 2: Click on the variable pane, enter your preferred name
(here, I'm using "Test"), and choose the data type as "String" since the output
value accepts the string data type.

5.       You can add a write log activity next to the “TextExtractor” activity to view
the output.

6.       Now, execute the workflow to view the results.

Below is a sample of the output of the activity.
