The ABBYY FlexiCapture Connector for UiPath includes a sample UiPath process named ABBYY FlexiCapture 12 Processor. This process can be found in the \Single-task package\Samples\UiPath Sample Processes folder of the distribution package. It demonstrates how you can use the Capture Data activity. You can open this project in UiPath Studio for reviewing and editing. The process prompts the user to select a folder with files and an output folder where to save the results, sends each file from the folder to ABBYY FlexiCapture, waits for up to 5 minutes for the files to be processed, and receives:
  • the resulting files from ABBYY FlexiCapture, which may be a document file in a format specified by the user (e.g. a searchable PDF document), a data file (e.g. a CSV file), files with image fields (e.g. signature images), etc. These files will be saved to the previously selected output folder. These results can only be received if export to data files is configured for the Document Definition.
  • a list of captured fields and their values. The process creates a text document in the output folder and records the received fields and their values in this text document.
  • a URL linking to the document verification page on the ABBYY FlexiCapture 12 Web Verification Station. For a document that requires verification, a URL linking to the document verification page is returned to the process. The process creates a TXT document in the output folder and records the URL linking to the document verification page. Then it opens the URL in the browser.
Please make sure that the Enable web stations option is enabled for the verification stage in the ABBYY FlexiCapture workflow.
Before starting the process, make sure that the FlexiCapture Project has been configured. Then in the Processing Files cycle, select the Capture Data activity. The Properties panel in UiPath Studio will display the activity properties. Next, specify the settings to be used to connect to the ABBYY FlexiCapture Application server and choose the appropriate project and batch type on the server. These settings can be specified 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 using UiPath variables. Place the images of documents in a folder on the disk. For testing, you can start the process from UiPath Studio by clicking Design→ Run (F5). Also, the process can be published in Orchestrator and launched by the Robot in the specified environment. After selecting the input and output folders, wait for the processing results to be saved to the output folder.
