Read from PDF

I have pdf files which are searchable.

I want to read specific texts from this pdf and give me a table, having 2 columns, Column 1- document name itself , Column 2- text that is extracted from the pdf.

For text - I would like to give a specific format like XX-XXXX or something similar, only such kind should be read. 

Also if I can do for a batch it would be more beneficial.

Appreciate your support

By searching the community with "read pdf" keywords, you would find a bunch of good discussions.

For example, https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Desktop-Discussions/Read-PDF-Files-in-Alteryx/td-p...

 

How to extract from PDF and how to format the extracted data are separate issues.

So you may solve the extract isseus first.
