Document Understanding Activities

Last updated May 15, 2025

About the Document Understanding activity package

The UiPath.DocumentUnderstanding.Activities package enables the usage of a complete document processing framework, from taxonomy definition, digitization, document classification, data extraction, and data validation.
Note: The namespace of UiPath.DocumentUnderstanding.Activities is UiPath.IntelligentOCR.StudioWeb.Activities.

Known limitation

If you are using "Wait for" type activities that suspend workflows and you are working with DataTable variables, it is crucial that DataTable variables are serializable. For example, if a DataTable variable is initialized with new System.Data.DataTable, then it becomes non-serializable, and this can cause your project execution to fail. To prevent this, you can either: leave the default value of the DataTable variable empty, or assign a name to the DataTable variable, such as: new System.Data.DataTable("MyTable").

Activity packages compatibility

UiPath.IntelligentOCR.Activities and UiPath.DocumentUnderstanding.Activities should not be used together in the same project. The UiPath.IntelligentOCR.Activities package should be used for Windows (or Windows-Legacy) workflows, while the UiPath.DocumentUnderstanding.Activities package should be used for Windows and Cross-platform workflows.
