Table extraction from PDF

Hi Alteryx Community,

 

For a start, I have an Alteryx Intelligence Suite. My situation is that I have multiple PDFs with each having different table format, is there a possibility that I can automate extracting those tables in Alteryx for further analysis? Would really appreciate if the community could share some workflow.

 

Thanks and regards.

Hi Anjelabugarin,

 

Thanks for the reply. My question is if somebody send me email with table, and I would save the email in PDF format. How would I get Alteryx to read the table within the email that was just PDF-ed. Besides assuming each email PDF-ed would contain different table format. Would like to know whether is there a way around in Alteryx to ease the automation?

 

Thanks!
