Hello,
I have a telephone bill pdf document from which I need to extract only the call details table to an excel file.
Is there a way to do this in Alteryx without using python?
There are a couple of PDF reading tools available for download on the Public Gallery. They leverage python/R in the background, but are user-friendly.

You could also use the PDF capabilities in the Intelligence Suite (which may be better suited depending on the format of your PDF), but those are an additional license to Designer.

Hi @Pankhudri20
You will need to download the PDF Input tool and install the R Package for "pdftools". I see that @echuong1 provided you with the link,
To complement what was said, you will need to use this workflow to install the R package that you will need.
Here is a video you can watch to help you set it up.

Thank you @echuong1 @pedrodrfaria for providing me with these tools.

I am running the PDF Input package as mentioned but I am getting the error 'can't find plugin "AlteryxRPluginEngine".dII'.
Can you tell me how to resolve this?
Thank you
@Pankhudri20 Can you confirm that you have the R tools installed in your Designer?
If not, you need to install it. You can install it from the link below:

Sign in, go to the previous versions of Alteryx Designer and download the predictive tools.
Thanks,
