    From pdf not showing in my Excel (MS Office 2019 Plus) and I want to "import" multiple pdf files. Can you help please. I am aware of the single file workaround with "= Pdf.Tables(File.Contents....", but is is only for a single file. Is there away to add multiple files?

    Thank you so much for the video. I also tried to use the same instruction from Microsoft help, but still encountered prob with the formula link given to copy-paste. However.. 3:05 My PDF file doesn't provide "copy as path" on th right click menu, can't also copy paste manually by "pressing Ctrl+Shift+C then Paste/Ctrl+V". Would be great if you could give some help with this issue.

    Hi how about you try to right click your document. Select Properties > General. Combine these 3 info together: 1. Location 2. Add a slash \ after location 3. Type of file, for example .pdf in this case Example of the document path should be something like this C:\Users\USER\Desktop\documentname.pdf

    Hey you should be able to import all 13 pages using the same method. You should be able to see all the displays of the 13 tables of your document after you finish the steps @4:15. You can select whatever page you want to load from there. Hope this helps!

    When you load the PDF, you should see a list of all the tables inside your pdf. From there, you can select multiple tables you want to load. In this way, you can import all the tables in your pdf.
