Cannot find the PDF Input with the current version

[miguelbda]

I just downloaded the Alteryx Developer version, but I cannot find the PDF input.  This link, https://help.alteryx.com/20212/designer/pdf-input,  it is not saying anything else. I thought that it will be available after the installation. Any idea?

Hi @miguelbda 

In newer versions this has been replaced by image input & the computer vision tools

Hi @miguelbda,

I think you need to have AI/ML package installed to get this tool. 

Alternatively, you can search for some free PDF readers. I really liked this one. I have used it on several occasions and it worked really well:

Hi @miguelbda 

You can check under Text processing tool. Note: intelligence suite requires separate extra licence

Thanks for sharing the macro @Emil_Kos 🙂

Hope this helps : )

Hi @Emil_Kos,

I installed your suggestion, but I am receiving the following error. I installed the packages in the R library inside the Alteryx folter.
