Question

I am trying to create a knowledge base, by uploading a file, but I get a errorResponse which looks something like this:

"errorResponse": {  
            "error": {  
                "code": "BadArgument",  
                "message": "Failed to extract QnAs from the source",  
                "details": [  
                    {  
                        "code": "ExtractionFailure",  
                        "message": "Unsupported / Invalid url(s). Failed to extract Q&A from the source",  
                        "target": "Multiturn-ContosoBenefits.pdf",  
                        "innerError": {  
                            "code": "CannotParse"  
                        }  
                    }  
                ]  
            }  
        }  

I am using this file Multiturn-ContosoBenefits.pdf and this documentation for reference create.

@SAI Thanks for the details. We are able to create knowledge base in QnAmaker using the preview-SDK quick start sample as shown below in the snapshot.

In the CreateKbDTO please set the files as shown below in the code.

 urls = []  
        files = [  
            FileDTO(  
                file_name = "structured.docx",  
                file_uri = "https://github.com/Azure-Samples/cognitive-services-sample-data-files/raw/master/qna-maker/data-source-formats/structured.docx"  
            )]  
      
      
        create_kb_dto = CreateKbDTO(  
            name="QnA Maker Python SDK Quickstart",  
            qna_list=[  
                qna1,  
                qna2  
            ],  
            urls=urls,  
            files=files,  
            enable_hierarchical_extraction=True,  
            default_answer_used_for_extraction="No answer found.",  
            language="English"  
        )  
        create_op = client.knowledgebase.create(create_kb_payload=create_kb_dto)  
      
        create_op_monitor = _monitor_operation(client=client, operation=create_op)
