You can use send keys (if it's a true PDF) to copy data to clipboard and extract as required or OCR if it's not a true PDF. Else you need adobe API which is licensed that will convert PDF to word for use to work easily.

Hello,

how is it possibleto copy data to clipboard and extract as required ?
Thank you.
Hey CamiCat, you can use global send keys to send CTRL+A to select all the text then CTRL+C to copy it to the clipboard. Once you have it, use the 'Get Clipboard' action from the 'Utility - Environment' VBO which will output whatever's on the clipboard to a data item.

I've tried this technique but it only seems to extract text and not pick up checkboxes. Is there a workaround for this?
