Converting an image of a table in a PDF to Excel

I have a pdf with images of multiple tables. Is it possible to use Alteryx Intelligence Suite to convert these images into an excel table? I'm a little confused on the beginning steps with Computer Vision tools for this scenario.

A co-worker looked at the Computer Vision tools recently.  

 

Here's one link I kept for reference:

 

About the new PDF to Text tool, from a recent Community comment: (https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/Parse-data-from-multiple-PDF-files/td-...)

12-21-2022  Alteryx recently release a new PDF to Text tool that greatly increases the accuracy and speed of extraction. Including the link to this new tool here for your reference:

with our older version, the Image Processing tool doesn’t have the option for OCR Optimization
