Hello @sc1​, thanks for posting! Sorry for not reaching out sooner, did you manage to get started on the process? FME and Python are likely both capable of this, but I think FME will work just fine. Are all of the PDF's your looking to process formatted similarly? or does formatting vary?

Take a look at this Getting Started with Reading PDF in FME article. Depending on if the data is spatial or non-spatial, you can use various PDF Reader parameters to control which text is interpreted as features. Nonetheless, happy to take a look if you're able to share a sample file. Best, Kailin.

Hi Kailin, thanks for your reply. All the PDF’s are formatted in a similar way and are non spatial. Does the above work as well with non spatial pdf’s or do I have to program a custom script?

kind Regards,

Sibe

Hello @sc1​, that's great news! Yes, the PDF Reader supports both spatial and non spatial PDFs, so not to worry. I've included a screenshot highlighting the Non-Spatial parameters available on the PDF Reader:

Feel free to reach out if there are any issues reading your data into FME Form. Best, Kailin.
