I am trying to explore the AI Skills option to extract a PDF document , While doing this I am using a!docExtractionStatus(pv!DocExtractionId)  to find the status of this extraction , it always comes as Invalid status 

as i feel the id returns as text  459e03db-62f5-4a7c-bb96-9047e4391783 , Where as method used to find the extraction status looking for number how to change this  type and find the extraction status ?

    a!docExtractionStatus is not used with the new AI skills. I suggest to follow this tutorial: docs.appian.com/.../doc-extraction-tutorial.html

    Thanks Stefan for the details , i just removed those and it worked well , however, having one simple basic question , what is the difference between using AI  Skill for document extraction and normal extraction ? 

    1) Extract from Document , Reconcile Doc Extraction    

    2) Start Doc Extraction , Script task to get the extracted data  (a!docExtractionResult( ) )  , Reconcile Doc Extraction

    A while ago Appian created an addon application called "Intelligent Document Processing". This is now superseded by AI skills and, while still supported, not recommended for any new developments.
