Download PDF from API URL from Typeform to Image

I'm trying to extract images from Typeform into images for reporting. Images can be uploaded from the questionnaire in Typeform in either PDF or jpg/png formats. I've already created the workflow using the download and blob tools so that it can properly process the jpg/png uploads, but can not parse the pdf uploads. Currently run into a "Unable to resolve (the api url) into a valid path"

Is there a way to convert/read the pdfs so that they are registered as images in the workflow? Or is there a way download the pdfs from the API URLs locally through alteryx and then upload from the local folder to alteryx and convert pdfs to images that way?

Hey --- we'll need alot more information and screengrabs to answer this --- but for starters - your pdf tool is currently reading in your URL., you need to read in your binary file. To do this - I'd recommend setting up your file to save as blob in your download. Giving it a nifty name -> reading it in via blob input -> then sending it to your pdf tool. Your pdf tool can't do anything with a URL.
