    You need to check what character(s) is between Business Use and Name: APMP-00004707, as it could be either vbCr, vbCrLf or vbLf. I've never used PDF.ConvertToText() method, so I don't know what it uses for return line.

     

    Once you have figured out the character, then you can store each line into an array

Here's a small example,

Sub main()
    myString = "TestComplete is a functional automated testing platform developed by SmartBear Software." & vbCrLf _
        & "TestComplete gives testers the ability to create automated tests for Microsoft Windows, Web, Android, and iOS applications."
    
    myWord = Split(myString, vbCrLf)
    for each word in myWord
        Log.Message(word)
    next
End Sub

There's plenty of references on the internet, if you do a search

    You have inserted vbclrf  in your string example.

    After converting a pdf to text using pdftotext method. the data is getting stored and coming  in nextline.

     

    String = "TestComplete is a functional
          automated testing platform 
          developed by SmartBear Software
          TestComplete gives testers the ability to create automated 
          tests for Microsoft Windows, Web, Android, and iOS applications"

    Now here This vbclrf or vbnewline is not working at all. Here how can I read nextline character.
