Hi Everyone,
I am trying to create a single document from a pdf file that has different rows for each of the repetead sections in the single pdf file.
Example: I have a pdf document that has a lot of text however in the document there is one repeated section of comments that I would like to collect for each ID associated with the comments. I have used the process documents from files and used extract information operator with a start and end expression to capture the comments in between. it works for the first section that the start and finish expressions are found but doesnt captures the rest of the sections.
Please let me know if I need to explain this any further.
Thank you

You can potentially apply the exact same process, but with different limiters based on your criteria.

You can read PDF files and turn them into readable text with the extension, PDF Table Extraction
