Document Understanding Activities
Release notes
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:
- Remove any activity from within these two activity packages from your automations. These include the following: Abbyy OCR, Abbyy Cloud OCR, FlexiCapture Classifier, FlexiCapture Extractor, FlexiCapture Scope, Classify Document (FlexiCapture), Process Document (FlexiCapture), Validate Document (FlexiCapture), Export Document (FlexiCapture), Get Field (FlexiCapture), GetTable (FlexiCapture), Prepare Validation Station Data, Abbyy Screen OCR, and Abbyy Document OCR.
- Uninstall the activity package from all your projects and automations.
- Delete UiPath.Abbyy.Activities and UiPath.AbbyyEmbedded.Activities packages, along with any dependencies related to Abbyy, stored in your local storage and Orchestrator feeds.
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 July 2022, the UiPath.AbbyyEmbedded.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.

Improvements have been made to optimize the OCR results on scanned documents. Best results are obtained by keeping the skew angle between +/- 20 degrees.
Improvements to image processing algorithms.
Due to improvements to image processing algorithms, changes might appear in the digitization of certain documents.
The UiPath.AbbyyEmbedded.Activities package has been upgraded to .NET5. While both .NET versions continue to be supported, the .NET5 projects can only work on 64-bit architectures.
- Fixed a bug that was causing the OCR engine to return an error on certain air-gapped systems.
- Fixed a bug that was causing the OCR engine activities to not be visible in StudioX when the Show Developer filter was enabled. Now the user can access all OCR engine activities even with the filter enabled.
- Fixed a bug that was causing the OCR engine to return an error on certain air-gapped systems.
Release Date: 28 September 2020
We are happy to present a new Screen Scraping solution available in the UiPath Platform. You can now use the Abbyy Screen OCR activity, which harnesses the powerful ABBYY engine. This is possible without the need for a paid license, only within the purpose of screen scraping.
Additionally, a new OCR engine is added to the pre-existing list of OCR engines, namely Abbyy Document OCR which offers enterprise customers 250,000 Abbyy OCR units free of charge to be used in Document Understanding and PDF processing scenarios.
