'Export the existing PDF document to FDF file If a file contains multiple tables, each table is converted as a separate dataset.Dim loadedDocument As PdfLoadedDocument = New PdfLoadedDocument('././Input/FormFill.pdf')ĭim loadedForm As PdfLoadedForm = loadedDocument.Formĭim memoryStream As MemoryStream = New MemoryStream When a table spans multiple pages, it is ingested as two separate CSV files, which can be combined later.

Tabular data in the PDF cannot be scanned data, which is stored as an image.

Non-tabular data in the file is ignored.To facilitate ingestion, the following requirements must be met for tables in your source PDF files: This ingest process occurs on the backend datastore. Table data in PDF files must be detected and converted into CSV data for proper ingestion in the platform. The PDF file format is a publishing format designed around visual layout of information, some of which may include tabular data. When you run a job, the platform always collects the latest version of the data and converts it to CSV for execution. Latest state of the PDF file may not be reflected in the Transformer page due to caching.The file requires conversion again with each generated sampling. If loading your PDF-based dataset in the Transformer page results in a blank screen, please take a new sample.Conversion of large PDF files require non-linear increases in memory requirements on the Alteryx node.Compressed PDF files are not supported.You cannot import password-protected PDF files.For more information, see Source Metadata References. These references return values from the CSV files that have been converted on the backend. PDF ingest is limited to 100 MB per file.įilepath and source row number information is not available from original PDF files. For more information, see Supported File Formats. NOTE: Before you begin, you should review information on file formats supported for import, which can cause your files to fail to import or to be properly ingested and formatted.
