Blue Prism Certified Professional Developer (APD01) — Question 45
Which of the following techniques is most suitable for extracting text from a PDF Document which originated as a Microsoft Word Document and was saved as a read only PDF?
Answer options
- A. Use Global Mouse Clicks and Global Send Keys to extract the PDF text to the Windows clipboard and use Blue Prism utilities or functions to extract the text from the clipboard
- B. Use the "˜Read Text with OCR' option of a Blue Prism Read Stage on Win32 Elements
- C. Use the "˜Get Text' option of a Blue Prism Read Stage on Regions
- D. None of these options
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is A because using Global Mouse Clicks and Global Send Keys allows for direct interaction with the PDF content, which is necessary for read-only files. The OCR option in B is less effective for documents that originated in Word, and C is also not suitable since it won't work with read-only PDFs. D is incorrect as option A is a valid method.
