In the PDF, can you select just one or two values (not the whole table)?
Can you share the PDF file?

@Frixel What happens if you just try to point to a single PDF in your query instead of a Folder query?

@Frixel Well, unfortunately Power BI is not recognizing any tables on that page and I'm not sure there is anything you can do about it. I wonder if perhaps that is actually an image and not a table within the PDF.
