Excel 2016 Get data from PDF missing

Hi all,   I'm using Excel 2016 on Windows 10, and I find that I don't have the option to get external data from PDF. Any idea what could be the issue here?

This functionality is only available to Office 365 subscribers I'm afraid.

      pomygit , what appears next to the About Excel button for you? If it says Monthly Enterprise Channel or Semi-Annual Channel then the PDF connector has not been deployed on these update channels yet. It is coming soon however.

      What is the version information which Excel shows below that "Update options" button in your screen-shot?
