    Reading from screen also reads the text of the browser window which is not good.

    Downloading the image and then reading it is giving a good output.

    Use action for downloading and saving the image.

    This saves the image to the folder given in the "Destination folder" parameter.

    Once you get the text perhaps you could use regular expressions and get the desired text.

    I have printed both together in a single box but,

    you could use \d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} to get the date (enable the first occurrence only)

    and (?<=Invoice #).* to get the invoice number

     

    This is just a sample test based on general conditions.

    Please test the regular expressions for your specific scenarios.
