Tables in PDF files

[gogula1]

I have come across so many public data repositories that hold data in PDF format. Other websites have tables within documents such as annual reports etc., also in PDF format. A data source for PDFs or tables from PDFs would be awesome!

much needed to keep on top of industry publications that are more commonly released as pdf.

I have the same need as everyone else but I'm not sure if this functionality should be built within Power Query. I have an overall needs to get data from web pages (aka web scraping) behind logins and also to download and parse PDF tables. I currently use a third-party web scraping and PDF extract service to do this and it works. I think having a a service by Microsoft with PowerQuery integration and Microsoft Flow integration would be beneficial. Just imagine the mountains of data locked up on web pages and PDFs but most tables are not so simple to parse with javascript post-backs, badly coded websites and PDF that have tables but not easy to magically parse all the data. Having a visual tool that helps in writing the powerquery code in debug mode as you step through a website or PDF is needed to make it a strong offering instead of just good enough.
