Split columns fixed width

Hi, I have been trying to use a PDF input converter which works quite well. Although, all the text in the PDF gets converted into one column of Alteryx. I was trying to use different delimiters by using split text to column, but none of them work. Therefore, I think it has to do with the Fixed Width. I am not sure how to use this function if I don't have an .txt input.

Does anyone have a good solution for this?

You can save it as a text file and then read it using dynamic input. Or you can use RegEx. Another option is the one from this post https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/Fixed-Width-Delimiter/td-p/772173
