Overview of this book

SAP Intelligent Robotic Process Automation (RPA) enables businesses to automate repetitive work and integrate automation capabilities across SAP and non-SAP systems. This book provides end-to-end coverage of business process automation using SAP Intelligent RPA and shows how to build multiple SAP Intelligent RPA projects from start to finish. Some of these projects may build upon the work done in previous chapters to showcase the Agile development process in SAP Intelligent RPA. As you progress, you'll cover the SAP Intelligent RPA factory, Desktop Studio, Cloud Studio, and the Bot store. You'll also learn about the building blocks of the SAP Intelligent RPA solution and creating bots from initial application declaration to workflow design and deployment, along with making bots run in attended and unattended modes. You'll also learn about SAP Process Automation, the new SAP service that is going to replace the SAP Intelligent RPA service soon. Finally, we will discuss the migration path for your SAP Intelligent RPA projects to SAP Process Automation and showcase that the RPA development remains similar in both services. By the end of this RPA book, you’ll be able to create and manage complex bots that are capable of interacting with SAP and non-SAP systems.

Chapter 19: SDK Extension Libraries

By now, you should be familiar with the core libraries included in the Desktop SDK, which we discussed in Chapter 18, An Introduction to Desktop SDK. SAP Intelligent RPA also provides libraries that are extensions to the Desktop SDK, referred to as Desktop SDK Extension libraries, for working with Microsoft Office, PDF, or SAP applications. We will explore more about these libraries/classes and use them in the Vendor Invoice Posting project in this chapter.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics to learn more about the various SDK Extension libraries:

  • Using the Microsoft Office extensions
  • Extracting information from PDF documents
  • Learning about the technology-specific extensions

By the end of this chapter, you will have learned how to use the SDK core and Microsoft Office extension libraries in the source code that was generated for the Vendor Invoice Posting project in Chapter 17, Generating Code. You will...
