reading a pdf with multiple sheets

LeeJD

I have just got the Intelligent Suite and am trying to read in data from a pdf with multiple sheets.

I can get it to read from the first sheet with the very simple flow below, but I want it to do this for the next 59 sheets in the pdf file too.

 

How would I go about doing this?

Would I need to create some sort of macro or am I missing something in how Image input/Template works?

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

If you have more than one page on a PDF document, all pages will be listed on the Image Input tool.

Thanks for the response.

I can see all of the pages, but does that mean I have to go to each sheet and select each area for each sheet?

I see what you mean now, you are trying to apply the same template on many pages. You will need to build a macro for that.

Ok - just wanted to check I wasnt missing anything.

Hi. I'm a newcomer in Alteryx. Could smb send a workflow as an example? It's relevant now for me.
