Hi Guys, I am using PDF Input (https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Public-Community-Gallery/PDF-Input/ta-p/887038) to fetch data from pdf. from some of the pdf i am getting data like the below screenshot.
can anyone help me to identify what is the issue and how I can resolve this?
Hey @Tdalvi,
Do you have an example PDF I wanted to try it with my PDF Reader Tool - Alteryx Community. I am not sure what would cause this, may be a good idea to ask about this on the gallery page for this macro also.
Hi IraWatt,
sorry, I cannot share a pdf containing the company's info but I tried the tool you mentioned in the comment and i am getting data like this. Is there any setting I need to do to get full pdf data, also pdf containing Invoices.
Looks like my tool is reading the data correctly. The Tool does get the full PDF. If you double click on the cell it will show all the data:
You can parse out the data however you want. Here is one way with the text to columns tool:
This is What I am getting.
Just to check if you add a brows tool after the PDF tool and scroll up and down in field info there is no other information? The gif above is what I would check ^
Otherwise I can have a look for a blog which outlines a few other methods to read PDF's.
@Tdalvi In that case I would recommend checking out some of the other options suggested on this thread: Solved: Importing PDF file into Alteryx - Alteryx Community
