Power BI - PDF file connector.

Data connectivity - PDF file connector

This month Power BI released a preview of the PDF Connector, which has been a huge ask from the community. In order to try it out you will need to enable it under the Preview features list in the Options dialog.


After enabling this Preview feature
and restarting Power BI Desktop, the PDF File connector will appear under the File category in the Get Data dialog.




After selecting this connector, you will be prompted to specify a path to a PDF file. Once the file is specified, Power Query will extract tables automatically and present them to you in the Navigator dialog, where you can preview and select one or multiple tables.




For Reference: PDF data would appear in Power BI as below:
