Read Old PDF version Files Within Power Apps Dataflow

Hello Everyone,
I have set up a solution which here is the global scheme:

Every day I receive by mail PDFs that I store on SharePoint (Power Automate) and I analyze these PDFs via a Power Apps dataflow. My problem is that within the dataflow, the function Pdf.tables which allows to read the contents of a PDF seems not to work for the old version of pdf (version 1) whereas the function PDF.Tables works very well for the more recent version of PDF (1.4, 1.5...). What bothers me is that from a Power Query Local (Excel), I can read ALL versions of PDF files (1, 1.2, 1.3.....).
Would the Pdf.tables function be different in the local power Query and in the dataflow? Is it possible to recover the code of the PDF.Tables function which is on Power Query to reuse it in my dataflow? If not, do you have any suggestions to change the version of my PDFs directly in the Power Automate (preferably for free). Any help would be very precious, thank you
