Hi @ankit.jain2
Try these methods

  1. Try with datascrapping option

    a. Open the pdf
    b. Then use datasrapping option to scrap the tabular data, if the datascrapping won’t works , then use screemscrapping.

  2. Document Understanding

Document Understanding feature also helps to extract the tables from pdf very easily, try that as well

  1. Try the python approach

Python via using some external modules, you can be able to extract the tables from pdfs
check this link as well

Hope this helps you

Dear Ankit,
If the PDF is a native one,then Read the PDF and pass the string(extract the table part) to Generate Datatable activity and specify the separator.
