Refresh data without downloading PDF files

There is a query that is getting data from a document library. This library has a column which stores PDF files. Due to the time is taking to refresh the data (and the size of each table), I assume that all the PDF files are being downloaded each time the data is refreshed.
•Is my assumption right? Can the query download all the PDF files?
•If I am correct, is there any way to just get the file name and not to download the file?

 
Kind regards.

    hi, Anonymous 

    When you refresh the data, it will download the required values, eg. file attributes, tables in the PDF.

    But that depends on the column you will need, in Edit Queries, if you only keep name column and remove other columns, it will only just get the file name, and if you keep other columns, it will also get other content.
