Help! Importing Data from PDF file into Power BI.

‎12-03-2019 10:02 AM

Hello All,

 

I would like to import multiple PDF files and visualize in Power BI.

I have worked with a single PDF file.

 

But I would like to use the folder option to automatically update the data each time I add a new pdf file to that folder.

Any idea on how to proceed?

 

Looking forward to your help,

Thanks!

@Anonymous are these pdf files going to have same format similar to one you used for single file?

Yes it has same format!

But the problem with that is - I could not select multiple pages when using the Folder-Get data option.

 

Have you worked with PDFs before?

 

Thanks,

Anand!

Thanks for your reply.

 

I cannot share the PDF Files due to security reasons.

 

But how would you update multiple pdf data automatically?

 

I have multiple tables and pages in a single pdf file.

 

 

Looking forward toy our help!

 

Thanks,

Anand!
