Ranorex Forum

In our software, we can generate reports for every financial transaction. All transactions are displayed with a date and timestamp. Most of the reports are generated with something called ReportBuilder. Is there a method in Ranorex for doing OCR? Or are there other methods for reading entries from reports?

Hi,

Could you please post an example of report in question? Basically, there is no built-in OCR method in Ranorex. But since Ranorex is a fully capable .NET dev. environment, you can write your own OCR method. But I personally would first examine the report and check if there is really no other way to read the data from it.

I can print the reports to a PDF with a PDF printer . Some reports also have the option of exporting the data to CSV or etc.

Hi,

CSV is a great option! PDF not so much, because I suspect the saved file will be just picture in PDF format. You should be able to read and validate whatever you want from CSV file.
