Qlikview has pretty nice funtionallity to crawl and format the data from webpages. </P><P></P><P>But what if lets say its a webpage where there are several PDF repports. Is there a way to script that when you reload, it will connect to that web page will open up the pdf repport and crawl the data from it? </P><P>(lets say there are just structured table in the pdf repport).</P><P></P><P>or is there anything else I can use to acomplish that?</P><P></P><P>Thanks in advance for your help.</P><P></P><P>/R.</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 18 Dec 2013 08:33:53 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/crawling-data-from-PDF-repports-or-pdf-as-data-source/m-p/499422#M686379 2013-12-18T08:33:53Z Re: crawling data from PDF repports or pdf as data source? https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/crawling-data-from-PDF-repports-or-pdf-as-data-source/m-p/499423#M686380 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi Roman,</P><P></P><P>I don't think this is possible with script only. I assume you would need any additional tool to downlaod the PDF and extract the data. But maybe we can try to find a solution. Can you paste a web link or upload a sample PDF file?</P><P></P><P>- Ralf</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 18 Dec 2013 08:42:20 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/crawling-data-from-PDF-repports-or-pdf-as-data-source/m-p/499423#M686380 rbecher 2013-12-18T08:42:20Z Re: crawling data from PDF repports or pdf as data source? https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/crawling-data-from-PDF-repports-or-pdf-as-data-source/m-p/499424#M686381 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>We can't load the data from PDF files into Qlikview directly.
