The PDF Form Source in Astera is used to extract data from PDF files only, whereas the Report Source in Astera extracts data from unstructured files (including .txt and PDF files) using a report model.
With PDF Form Source, you need to provide the file path in the properties to extract your data.
However, with Report Source, first you point the path to a source file and then to a corresponding report model which will serve as an extraction template.
