PDF to Text

Question

Hello,

i'm trying to read text from PDF file using Computer vision tools. the data i'm reading is in a table and with a small font size and rows are very close to each other , which causes incorrect data and null values when running the workflow. dose any one have a suggestions on how i can extract the data correctly ? where i just need 3 columns from the table out of 8 .

regards,

Hey @raghadaf8,

Another option is to try use the python tool using the PyPDF2 library. Ive attached an example workflow, you'll need to change the directory to where your file is (shown in picture) and probably need to run Alteryx in Admin mode to try out.

All the best,

Ira
