pdf to text

[mihir_mir_jb]

Hi I was going through the thread on pdf to text conversion on the below link.

https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Knowledge-Base/Can-Alteryx-Parse-A-Word-Doc-Or-PDF...

I came across an error "No fields found"

And in an another instance I got an error " Error: Run Command (3): The external program "runBat.bat" returned an error code: 1"

Can someone please help me on this?

Are you able to post a copy of the PDF you're trying to parse, and/or a screenshot of the error? That will better help us assist.

With regard to parsing PDFs, I generally use one of the tools available on the Gallery, or the Intelligence Suite add on. The method I used depends on the PDF. You may want to try downloading one of the tools from the Gallery and seeing if that works better for you:
