Intelligent Document Processing (IDP): Extract text from files using AI
Overview
We've introduced Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) in Zoho RPA. This feature enables automation workflows to understand, extract, and process content from documents.
New task: Extract text from files using AI
This feature includes a new task: Extract text from files using AI. It allows you to automatically extract text from file formats such as PDF, PNG, JPG, JPEG, and WebP using AI-powered recognition.

Based on the prompt – Allows you to define a prompt to extract only the specific information you need from the file.
For more information, refer to the IDP automation help document.

You can now pause or resume workflow executions directly using shortcut keys or tray menu options in the RPA agent.
This makes it easier to manage and control ongoing executions in real time.
