parse interactive pdf

Dear Community,

 

I am trying to parse an interactive pdf with check boxes. Basically I want to generate a table with labels from the form and to know if the check box was tick or not.

Due to data privacy I can't share the form (only orivate)

 

Thank you

Hi @DAM ,

 

I just tried it out with the Text Mining tools and it worked:

A checked box was interpreted as "al" and an uncheck box as "a". Now with a formula tool you could convert it to something more meaningful like "checked" and "unchecked".

 

In order to use the Text Mining tools you need Alteryx version >=2020.2 and an add-on license.

 

Best regards

Phil
