Hi Anonymous ,

Based on my test, PDF is not a supported source in Dataflow, while Excel and XML are all supported.

Best Regards,

Teige

Thanks TeigeGao, however what I'm looking for is an idea/indication/timeline of when pdf ingestion will be supported within dataflows? 

 

Seems an omission that they are supported in the power bi desktop and in the web service but not in dataflows.

      PDF now appears as an option when you add entities in dataflows.

       

      However on testing this functionality - the preview successfully reads in the pdf tables but I still get the error when I try to refresh in the service: 

       

      "The import Pdf.Tables matches no exports"
