The ABBYY FlexiCapture Connector for UiPath includes a sample UiPath process named ABBYY FlexiCapture 12 Processor, which demonstrates how to use the Capture Data activity. Open it in UiPath Studio to review and edit it. The process is in the \Single-task package\Samples\UiPath Sample Processes folder of the distribution package.

​
What the sample process returns

The process prompts you to select a folder with files and an output folder for the results. It sends each file from the input folder to ABBYY FlexiCapture, waits up to 5 minutes for the files to be processed, and receives the following results:
  • Resulting files – The files that ABBYY FlexiCapture produces. These can be a document file in a format you specify, such as a searchable PDF, a data file such as a CSV file, or files with image fields such as signature images. The process saves them to the output folder you selected. These results arrive only when export to data files is configured for the Document Definition. For more information, see Create a Standard XML export profile.
  • Captured fields and their values – The process creates a text document in the output folder and records the received fields and their values in it.
  • A verification URL – For a document that requires verification, the process receives a URL linking to the document verification page on the ABBYY FlexiCapture 12 Web Verification Station. It creates a TXT document in the output folder, records the URL there, and then opens the URL in the browser.

Run the sample process

1

Configure the ABBYY FlexiCapture project

Make sure the project is set up before you start, and that the Enable web stations option is selected for the verification stage in the ABBYY FlexiCapture workflow.For more information, see Configure your ABBYY FlexiCapture project for the Single-Task Package.
2

Select the Capture Data activity

In the Processing Files cycle, select the Capture Data activity. The Properties panel in UiPath Studio then displays the activity properties.
3

Specify the connection settings

  1. Specify the settings used to connect to the ABBYY FlexiCapture Application Server.
  2. Choose the project and batch type on the server.
Specify these settings either in the Settings group in the activity properties or in the activity form in the workspace. You can specify the values explicitly using a VB expression enclosed in quotes, or store them in UiPath variables.
4

Add the document images

Place the images of the documents in a folder on the disk.
5

Start the process

Use one of the following ways:
  • For testing, start the process from UiPath Studio by clicking Design → Run (F5).
  • Publish the process in Orchestrator and launch it with the Robot in the specified environment.
6

Collect the results

After you select the input and output folders, wait for the processing results to be saved to the output folder.
