Frank van der Hulst commented on PDFBOX-832:
--------------------------------------------

I have written a Java class which extracts tables from PDF, using PDFbox. It is NOT fully automated (you must specify the table & column boundaries to it) but it is at least a step towards what is wanted. I'd like to contribute that to the PDFBox project, if someone would tell me how to do that.
