On-Premise Gateway, PDF file datasource, Refresh error

Hi,

 

I'm trying to get data from PDF file on a regular basis. I did a report connected to a PDF file, Wroks fine.

I add a connection on our corporate On-Premise Gateway so the data could be refreshed on a regular basis.

I'm getting an error whe trying to refresh the data:

Underlying error message: The import Pdf.Tables matches no exports. Did you miss a module reference?
Microsoft.Data.Mashup.ValueError.Reason: Expression.Error

 

Did someone already tried this before? I know that this feature is in Preview mode. Any idea?

    shotte,

    I have got response from PG:

    "It is not supported to refresh PDF data source in gateway currently. This feature is still in beta and the improvements are coming in near future."

    Any update on this issue? When will refresh of PDF data sources be supported for PBI online?

    Is there any update on this issue? I have a PDF data source that I scheduled a refresh for, but it is not working. I'm not receiving any error messages; it just isn't updating the data. Can someone please help?

    shotte,

    I can reproduce this issue on my side. I have consulted internally to check if Power BI Service supports refreshing PDF data source.

  • It's end of April and I'm still having this problem. Isn't PDF-Import GA already?
