DivakarKrishnan , Can share some examples of what kind of text and what you need to do with that. Might have to use R or Python.
There is something in august 2020. But not for pdf yet

Hi Amit,
Sharing the PDF file after converting it as PNG.
Example: (Required data output)
Col1 - Col2
Total Inbound - 37,374
Weekday Average - 1,331
Inbound malware detected - 171
I have tried R function (PDF utility) but still values are scattered to different different cells, and from there i am not able to transform further.
