      Hello Greg_Deckler 

      Thanks for the quick reply but i need to do this for more than 100 PDFs everytime i evaluate my athlets, so it is impossible to do as you sugest, if i had a small amount of files would be the easy solution.

      I wanted a way to find the picture in the PDF as a "URL" for each file, as the files are ways the same, the same way i can find a table at the same format i wanted to find the image.

      Thanks anyway

        Hi , Anonymous 

        As of now,it couldn't achieve in Power BI .

        I would suggest you add it as an idea on Power BI Ideas forum. If there are enough votes, the Product Team will evaluate and take good consideration about it.

        BTW,  as mentioned by Greg_Deckler ,  "Use a snipping tool. Save as an image file. Insert the image into your PBIX using Insert and then Image" , is also a  good workaround.
