Will the Read PDF with OCR activity open the PDF document on the screen to read it?

The Read PDF with OCR activity is designed to extract text from a PDF document using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology without the need to open the document visually on the screen. This functionality is particularly useful for automating processes where human interaction with the document is unnecessary, enabling the robot to read the content programmatically.

This capability allows applications to process PDF files in the background, reading them even if the user does not have the document open on their screen. Consequently, the activity extracts the required information directly, optimizing efficiency in environments where rapid data retrieval is essential.

The other considerations regarding the opening of the document are not applicable here. The activity functions independently of display settings or the specific type of PDF, focusing solely on the text extraction process. Thus, its design prioritizes automation and seamless background processing.
