Hi @arjundelara , I believe you need to install R packages as well for pdf input tool to work.

If you still facing issues while using pdf input tool kindly check with support at support@alteryx.com.

There is also a youtube link- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aM9YqC1Uuo

 

I hope this works.

 

Thanks.

Pulling data from a PDF is super fun (said no one, ever). In this video, I'll do a quick demo of the install process for The Information Lab's PDF Input tool. Includes a brief demo of the tool and installation of prerequisite R packages. Link to PDF Input tool on the Alteryx Public Gallery: ...

It looks like the PDF tool you're trying to use is R-based. Please make sure you have the predictive tools installed. You can find the installer here: http://downloads.alteryx.com/ 

 

Also, if it's the tool I'm thinking of, you will need to install an R package. Follow the documentation outlined here: https://til.bi/2Xee6mA

Hope this helps!
