  • If we need to scan a pdf and get the data as response, what do we need to do. I am all fine and set up with application in the OCR ABBYY. I am able to connect with Appian as well. But when i send any document, i will get the result as process is queued / completed. How do we extract the response from there. It is not clear. Can anyone explain or suggest how do we do that.

  • Hi Raghu,

    We will be receiving an id along with the task status as the result of the Process PDF/Image Operation. We have to pass this Id to the operation Get status of a task. We will be able to get the task status along with the resulting URL of the response. Result URL has to be triggered and the response has to be extracted.

    If you need further assistance in configuration and usage, please let us know the operation you are using, so we can help in the same
