Business value
With this new action, users will be able to automatically identify and extract all structured data tables from a PDF document, making it fast and easy to prepare and use tabular data from PDFs in your flow.
Feature details
With just the PDF document path as an input, this action will extract all the tables from the selected PDF page range and store each table in a list variable with the following additional information:
- Start page index
- End page index
- Table order number
- Table name
In advanced settings of the action, users will also have an option to select first row as column headers and another option to merge tables that match across page boundaries. Both will be true by default.
