PDF to text

I need to extract a specific table from a 30-page PDF file for further data processing.

I have access to the Intelligence Suite if that's helpful for this task.

Can anyone advise if this is feasible using Alteryx, and if so, what steps or tools within Alteryx I should use to accomplish this?

Thank you in advance for your guidance!

You could try:

-Pdf to text, extract content from the pdf file 

-Browse tool, inspect the extracted dat to locate your table

-Filter tool, Narrow down the data base on text pattern

-text to column- split the table in to separate columns

-Formula tool, clean any inconsistencies

-output results

 

Hope this help reply if any further issues
