I have multiple pdf copies which i should manually rename. I want Alteryx to rename pdf copies automatically as per pdf. Will you be able to assist on that?

Dear @NambrathaMS 

 

If you have predefined name and just want to rename then yes it's possible to do using Run command or Python tool with directory. but pdf read is only possible with intelligent suite licence otherwise not possible to read data from PDF And rename it.

hi @NambrathaMS 

If you want to copy/rename/paste the PDF, you can consider to use Blob input tool, rename by Formula tool or something, then Blob Output tool to somewhere.

If you want to dynamically change file name based on PDF content, you need to read PDF data somehow.

One way is using PDFMINER library of Python. By using this library in Python tool, you can read data by Alteryx Designer without Intelligence Suite license.
