Problems with PDF as a Source
Hi, i have problems whe use a PDF as a source.
Let me show you: A: When i select the PDF, Severals column (in this case Column2) had strange character
PDF selected
B: When i made a refresh (button in the right corner) , the characters are corrected (Column2 now are OK)
Refresh
This could be easy to manage only a refresh in this step. But when i use a folder (with PDF) as a source, the refresh is not working and load some PDF files with this strange characters and not corrected with a refresh action.
Query Editor with Data with Strange Characters
Query Editor after a Refresh Action with some Rows now OK but others rows with strange Characters
After a Refresh
And after a New Refresh Action : The Row 44 now is OK but others that are Ok now had the strange characters
And after 3 more Refresh this Rows are OK but the other are Wrong :mansad:
Anybody got a way to solve this or is a issue from PBI (for now)
Thanks

hi, Vvelarde
I have tested on my side by my sample PDF file, but not reproduce the issue.
If you could share your sample pdf file for us have a test?
