converting a pdf to excel
Best answer by fmelizard
Hi @13gamat the PDF2TextReader does not need a reader attached to it. If you open up the parameters of the transformer you should be seeing the below. You will need to specify the location of the .exe you downloaded and the location of the PDF files you want to read.

If you right click on the Custom Transformer check out the help documentation on it. It has a few tips on how to use it.

Hi @13gamat, FME currently does not support reading PDF files. You can vote for the idea to support it here .
The idea does have a link to a custom transformer which may help you: PDF2TextReader
EDIT: FME 2018 supports reading PDF.
