    Enable the PDF Connector - it went GA in Power BI Desktop and Web Service in April 2019, so it should also be in Dataflows.

    It is always frustrating to consider moving a set of Queries to Dataflows, only to realize that the functionality is so limited.

    PDF Connector is now available within Dataflows. Thanks everyone for your feedback!

    Not able to schedule refresh the dataflow containing the PDF Connector. Am I missing something ?

    '@mike this has now been implemented and I'm successfully ingesting pdfs using dataflows. So I guess this idea can be closed now.

    PDF is now available as an entity in dataflows, however when I try to refresh in the service it errors - strangely the preview does successfully parse the pdf.

    I too would like this functionality or an idea of when this will be generally available.
