Hi I also have same type of problem. As a requirement i need to read Text based PDF through Alteryx , PDF is having 6 different page structure. I need to read all 6 in different input stages.
Any help or any input will be much appreciated,
Thanks.
Hi,
There is couple of ways to do that. One option if your organization allow to downlaod xpdf tool, then you can just install that and run batch script to convert pdf to text(or any format). then you can play around with text files.
another ways to do that using R console(Mostly availble in 2019.2, not sure about 2019.3 version) to convert pdf to excel or text.
Thanks
