Pulling tables from PDF

Taki

Hi:

 

I have a PDF which contains regular text and  about 10 to 11 tables in between the text and I need to compare the values from these tables to the prior PDF to ensure consistency. Is there a way to extract the tables from the PDF in Alteryx into Excel?

 

Thanks,

 

Taki

Hi @Taki 

 

Have you seen the latest release of the Alteryx Intelligence Suite? It allows for text extraction of individual elements from PDFs: https://www.alteryx.com/products/alteryx-platform/intelligence-suite

Hi @Taki 

 

Alteryx has just released a new Intelligence Suite which includes the capability to extract data from images/pdf (and other cool features). Check out the website below, and take note that it comes at an addition cost:

Otherwise, this is possible with R/Python in Alteryx. Here's some links to check out:
