Document Understanding Activities

Upcoming removal

By August 2025, we will be removing the UiPath.Abbyy.Activities and UiPath.AbbyyEmbedded.Activities packages. To prepare for this removal, you are required to perform the following steps to erase all objects associated with UiPath.Abbyy.Activities and UiPath.AbbyyEmbedded.Activities:

After August 2025, you won't be able to execute any Abbyy or AbbyyEmbedded activity on your UiPath Robots.

The alternative to UiPath.Abbyy.Activities is to replace it with UiPath.IntelligenctOCR.Activities and its connected functionality. The alternative for UiPath.AbbyyEmbedded.Activities is UiPath.OCR.Activities, which now supports a multitude of languages through its activities: UiPath Document OCR, UiPath Screen OCR, and UiPath Extended Languages OCR.

Visit the Deprecation timeline for more information.

Based on compliance requirements, starting August 2022, the UiPath.Abbyy.Activities package is unlisted from the UiPath Studio Manage Packages official feed. Already installed package versions can still be used and are not affected by this change.

We continue to offer support and upgrades for this package on-demand only, via our Support channel.

You can submit your request by creating a ticket here. Following internal review of the request, the solicited package is sent to you. Please note that some requests may not be honored because of regulatory restrictions.

Due to improvements to image processing algorithms, changes might appear in the digitization of certain documents.

Extended the support for a newer version of FlexiCapture Engine, namely 12.1.24.10.

Updated support for the new Studio version.

Starting with this release, the package is validated for use in C# projects.

The IntelligentOCR Scope activity has been renamed to FlexiCapture Scope and added to the UiPath.Abbyy.Activitites package.

This patch upgrades the OCR engines in the Abbyy package to support TLS v1.2, as the older v1.0 and v1.1 are approaching end-of-life.

We now have a package available especially for all Abbyy products, including activities for OCR, Cloud OCR, classification, and data extraction. You can find them all under the UiPath.Abbyy.Activities package.
