Which project template to select

Hi everybody,

I'm pretty new to SSIS as I haven't been actively using it. I have 149 text files on the network I access using VPN and I also have access to the Azure databases and I created a new DB and a table to where I'd like to load data from all these 149 files.

I have VS 2019 Community and I installed Data Tools so now I have project templates to select from. And so my very first question is this one: for the task I outlined above which of the projects types should I select and does it matter?

Also, if you know a simple site that will guide me through the process of creating this project and running it, I'd appreciate it too.

The one I found so far and was about to follow is this one

But right now I'm undecided as which project type to chose.

I have another problem which I'm not yet sure how to tackle - for a slightly different project I need to do something similar, but the files are PDF files. I need to somehow extract the info from them. Can you also suggest an approach for that?

Thanks in advance.
