PDF to Text/Excel File

[sariyaj]

I am trying to convert a large PDF file to text. Is there an alternative way to do this in Alteryx besides the PDF to Text tool as I don't have access to that specific tool.

@sariyaj If you do not have access to the Alteryx Intelligence Suite tools, your only other option in Alteryx is to use the Python tools to convert it. This means you would be using Python to do the conversion, but it would be within the Alteryx Workflow.

This is the tool my friend @abacon is talking about: https://help.alteryx.com/current/en/designer/tools/alteryx-intelligence-suite/computer-vision/pdf-to...

You can look here to try Python: https://www.thedataschool.co.uk/le-luu/extract-data-table-from-pdf-file-in-alteryx/
