Extract data from inconsistant PDF Files

Hi Community,

 

I have a use case in which I am trying to fetch certain data points from a range of inconsistant PDF Files of 20-35 pages each. Example say- I am targetting 20 data points to capture in the dataset/output of Alteryx, there can be the cases where some data points are not present in the PDFs and if they are present, they will be present at different locations in different pages varying pdf to pdf.

 

Is this use case possible in Alteryx? 

 

Note:

I am unable to attach sample files/alteryx flow as I am working with the real time data.

 

Looking forward for the response.

Yes it is, but you'll have to just read in everything from all PDFs, and use logic/tools afterwards to get the data you need.
