Hi Renjith,

It is "possible" but it would be quite difficult. You would need to write an application to parse the PDFs yourself (there is no option by default in QlikView) and then either export to a format that QlikView can read (e.g. CSV) or deliver to QlikView using the new QVX protocol.

Lot of work. Is it possible to get the information in another way?

Regards,

Stephen
