Pdf import error in powerbi service

Hi,

Today I am facing the issue with pdf ingestion import error in pbi service. When I try to refresh the dataset in desktop file, the refresh works absolutely fine, only when I publish it to service I am having this failure.

Additional details: I am importing multiple pdf files from SharePoint folder, with only one table from each file is to be imported.

Thanks in advance

Hi @sarava8304 ,

 

You may not have configured the gateway.

When you publish the report containing PDF data source to Power BI service, you need to configure the gateway to refresh.

Hi @Anonymous 

 

Thanks for your kind response.

In this case , by pdf files are located in sharepoint folder (with O365 account)

Also, this refresh was perfectly working for last 2 months (till 11th of Oct'20), but suddenly on Monday morning i received refresh failure notification.

Could you please check and advise on the same.

 

thanks,
