Automating PDF Data Extraction Using Computer Use within Copilot Studio


Microsoft Copilot Studio harnesses the AI-driven UI automation capability called Computer Use to simplify document processing and reduce manual effort. Rather than manually copying information from business documents like purchase orders or invoices, this tool allows agents to interact with applications directly, bypassing the need for APIs or custom integrations. A practical use case involves extracting tabular data from PDFs stored in SharePoint, converting it into JSON format, and utilizing Power Automate to generate CSV files and send them via email. This approach automates repetitive tasks and minimizes errors by enabling easy extraction and sharing of tabular data across teams, thereby streamlining document handling processes in organizations. With guidance on configuring Copilot Studio, extracting data, and automating through Power Automate, this method demonstrates an efficient integration of automation tools to enhance productivity.
