Excel power query not showing get data from PDF

Hi all
I have an active MS OFFICE 365 personal subscription.

I wish to import PDF documents using power query, but i do not have the option when I activate the from file dropdown in get and transform.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the software and loaded the latest updates today (11 December 2020).
Any advice as to how i can overcome this problem.

    Perhaps you are on semi-annual channel, I'm not sure if this connector is already available on it. You may try to switch on another channel. Most probably for the Personal it could be done directly from File->Account.

      Hi Sergei, I am having the same problem being Get Data (Power Query) does not go on to File> PDF. I have Microsoft 365 Subscription. I have looked for File-> Account to see if I could change the channel and cannot find this path. I update regularly my Microsoft 365. Please help. I need this great function.

        It depends on which channel you are. There are 3 versions of semi-annual enterprise plus current; and monthly enterprise channels. Not sure that connector is available on semi-annual.
