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:

      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!

        Dataflows do not seem to work with tables in pdfs (this does work in Excel power Query). Specifically, dataflows can only see pages, not tables - Excel Power Query can see both.
