Can Qlik Answers read data from a scanned PDF? Appreciate it can read text from a PDF, but what about for example a scanned invoice that is saved as a PDF?

Hi @Alex_Cosgrove, not directly. You need to convert the image into text before. I wrote an article on Data Voyagers about this. Check it out:
