Hello everyone,

I am working on a process where I need to extract some data from some pdfs. The issue is that the pdfs were created with Adobe Livecycle Forms 8.2 so they have interactive elements such as checkbox, textbox, etc.

Apparently PAD has some kind of issue detecting those elements, because when I try to map them I can't. The only element that I can map is a "pane" which is like the top container of all the elements. This is the selector structure of that "pane"

 > group[Class="AVL_AVView"] > pane[Class="AVL_AVView"] > group[Class="AVL_AVView"] > pane[Class="AVL_AVView"] > pane[Class="AVL_AVView"] > pane[Class="AVL_AVView"] > pane[Class="AVL_AVView"][Name="Panel de documentos"] > pane[Class="AVL_AVView"] > pane[Class="AVL_AVView"][Name="AVPageView"]

However I tried using another RPA tool and I was able to map all the elements correctly, but I have not been able to replicate those selectors in Power Automate Desktop. This is an example of the selector for a checkbox that I was able to map with the other RPA tool:

<wnd app='acrobat.exe' cls='AcrobatSDIWindow' title='* - Adobe Acrobat Reader (64-bit)' />
<wnd aaname='Panel de documentos' cls='AVL_AVView' title='AVScrolledPageView' />
<wnd cls='AVL_AVView' title='AVPageView' />
<ctrl name='req_per_2_rdogrp' role='check box' />

So, my question is if is there a way to make Power Automate Desktop work with these type of documents? or Can I in some way use the other RPA tool to map the selectors and replicate that in Power Automate (The structure of the selectors are not the same, so I would not know how to do it properly)?

Thanks.
