Data Scraper from PDF to XML?

I would like to know if Alteryx has the ability to scrape desired data from any (or most) PDF's  and purge the output in an XML format?

Hi @ccano 

 

Sure does! You can find a macro at gallery.alteryx.com for reading PDFs and many tools can help to put into XML format. 

 

Hope this helps.

Hi @ccano 

 

The InformationLab has a PDF Input tool.  This post has a link to the tool itself as well as a link to an installation video to help with the configuration of the R packages required

What are these tools that help to put an output into XML format? I struggle to find them. Thank you for a support.
