Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.

Don't know where you got that code, but it wasn't generated by Power Query. the first line of a PQ generated Query is ALWAYS "Source =". It would NEVER be #"source" as the #"" is only needed when there's a SPACE in the step name.
Use the UI Interface. Go to Data -> Get Data -> From File.. From Folder.

it imports details file name, directory ...., not data inside the file .

this is the whole code
VBA Code:
let
    #"‏‏المصدر" = Pdf.Tables(File.Contents("C:\Users\MY-NAME\Downloads\tt\PR-2023-00001.pdf"), [Implementation="1.3"]),
    Table001 = #"‏‏المصدر"{[Id="Table001"]}[Data],
    #"الرؤوس التي تمت ترقيتها" = Table.PromoteHeaders(Table001, [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
    #"النوع المتغير" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"الرؤوس التي تمت ترقيتها",{{"Sr", Int64.Type}, {"Item Code", type text}, {"Description", type text}, {"Purchase Order", type text}, {"Accepted#(lf)Quantity", type text}})
in
    #"النوع المتغير"
the language is not English in excel , I try writing English that's why shows error.

The data - FILES - are in the Content column.

You "Open" them by clicking on the double down arrows at the top right corner of the column.
