Hey! I've never worked with the OCR and AI Framework so I'm asking the following question: Is it possible to read the data as seen in the attached picture and save it to an Item List? If yes, what are the components that I would need? There is already a text layer in the pdf so there is no need to do the OCR. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you, Martin

Hi Martin,
I haven't used the OCR, yes there are thinks I don't know. :)
If you really need this, it could be an option to use the Azure Cognitive Services to extract table data via REST:

Hey Daniel,
Thank you for the links. The Form Recognizer does a perfect job extracting the data from a table. Also the pricing looks reasonable.
Again, thank you so much!
Cheers,
Martin
