Extract data from a scanned pdf
Hi guys, I was trying to extract from a scanned pdf file but apparently it's showing as empty table in power query. Just wondering if the pdf data extracttion could work on scanned pdf file. Thank...
Hi jackwong2
There is currently no way of doing this from within PowerBI or M.
You can use third-party tools to convert pdf to data.
Also refer this thread, you may get some ideas:
