I have come across so many public data repositories that hold data in PDF format. Other websites have tables within documents such as annual reports etc., also in PDF format. A data source for PDFs or tables from PDFs would be awesome!

The PDF connector is now generally available in the April release of Power BI Desktop. Learn more here: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-april-2019-feature-summary/#pdf

RE: Tables in PDF files

I highly appreciate the efforts planned this time. I will make recommendations at an early stage. Please connect to PDF data which we have difficulty to capture every year. I believe that developers will be able to recognize the specific tasks to be addressed by concrete examples. Come and sample it as a target for TEST, please realize the connection that everyone praises. http://www.keinet.ne.jp/rank/18/ds04.pdf

RE: Tables in PDF files

Absolutely agree. It would be a great feature to be able to extract PDF data straight into excel with a copy and paste approach.
