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"

        Hi,

         

        Has anyone got this to work. I can access a pdf in dataflows, but anytime I try and refresh I get the error referenced in this post.

         

        Thanks!
