I have a process where I have to add a page in between eat sheet of a pdf I have.

Hello, I am new to alteryx and I would like some insight on a process I would like to automate. I have a pdf with x # of pages and a word doc with one page. I want to add one of the word doc pages for each of the pages I have on the pdf and then export it as a pdf. Can someone please help me out?

hi @VPark

I think that alteryx is not the right tool for this particular process.  Alteryx does not natively read from pdfs.  The information in the pdf needs to be convert to .txt(see this link) which loses all the pdf formatting info.  You'd get the data but lose all the formatting

Hi @VPark

Unless someone corrects me here - I don't think that's possible. With Alteryx, when you read in data such as a PDF, it looses all it's formatting. Therefore when you output it, it will look completely different. Same would go for the word. I doubt that this is what you're going for, or is it?

If you still want to give reading in pdf's and word docs a shot, I can recommend this article from @ShaanM.

Good luck :)
