Create an App to search for keywords from a pdf

Hi Team,

Hope you all well. I am trying to build a app. The user enters the keyword and then the app has to search through the pdfs to see if that particular keyword is present and then show the frequency of the word.

Please let me know where to start.

Thanks and Regards,

Sriniv

This thread below should help you get started.

https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Knowledge-Base/Can-Alteryx-Parse-A-Word-Doc-Or-PDF/ta-p/1156

And this is a weekly challenge on how to parse and count the repeat.

Appreciate if you could mark it as acceptable if you find it useful.

To read PDF, first you need the license of Intelligence Suite.

I would suggest you may use the external tool to convert the PDF to some thing that Alteryx can process without extra license.

Then we can do a lot of things from there.

Hi @Qiu

Thank you so mcuh for the reply. I have got 2 weeks trial license to intelligent suite. But not sure how to go about it.

Please let me know if there is any sample workflow to create this,

Sriniv
