Intelligence Suite, reading in PDF data from varying tables

Question

I have many tables I receive via PDF and they have varying sizes, from 1 line in the main body to 15 or 20.  The vendor supplying these PDF's has an atrocious layout for importing. Any ideas on how I could go about getting the data from multiple files via a workflow utilizing Intelligence Suite. .  (The Total line is very problematic.)

Hi @ppatane - I'm not very experienced with Intelligence Suite, but I have been testing it out lately with varying degrees of success.

See the screen shots below for an approach that I have used to pull data out of PDFs using Image Template and PDF to Text. Basically just cover the whole area where the data can potentially be in the Image Template tool, then cleanse from there and you can get what you need.

Hope this is helpful.
