PDF data extracting

Question

Hello everyone,

I'm using Directory tool to get all the files paths in a directory.

The question is, how can I from the PDF path display the PDF contents as data not "image" I need to manipulate the contents itself, also I need to be sure if the contents have been read by a macro I've put in the workflow.

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

I am trying to accomplish the same thing.

My PDF files have combination of portrait and landscape within same PDF file, so the PDF to Text tools does not work for data in landscape mode.

Have you found any workaround?

Thank you

Hi

Anyone know if it is possible to change page Orientation of pages from Landscape to Portrait ?  I am trying to read multipage PDFs that have couple of landscape pages every so often.  Additionally, Does Alteryx Intelligence suite have a way to stream PDF input one page at a time so that each page can be analyzed / parsed in a stream?  Thank You!
