i need to read the PDF file. Which node in knime can i use? and also can i ingest the data in the PDF file from other nodes.
The final output should be PDF file that is coming out of knime and data’s inside it should be updated for each report.
Is it possible in knime?

Hi @Asha,
In KNIME you can read PDFs with the Tika Parser node, but it will only output the text from the PDF, no formatting information. So it is not easily possible to change certain things in the PDF. What you can do is extract the text and then generate a new report using our BIRT integration.
Kind regards,
Alexander

hi @AlexanderFillbrunn i have to ingest the data for each report, it will be going in loop. Daily i need to generate 1790 reports nearly. So how is that possible

Hi,
You can use the Tika Parser URL Input node. It takes a table with URLs to the PDFs as input and then parses all of them. As output you get a table with the text from each PDF, each in one row.
Kind regards,
Alexander

i dont want to get in table. Values must be falling into the PDF from other nodes. I need the expected ouptut in PDF format only. For each report the values inside the PDF will be changing. Is there any possibility in knime to do this task?
