[jira] [Updated] (PDFBOX-2286) Extract tables

["Frank van der Hulst (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2286?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Frank van der Hulst updated PDFBOX-2286:
----------------------------------------

    Attachment: NZANR_Part_71_Danger_Areas_(D).pdf
                PDFTableStripper.java
                PDFTable.java
                PDFExample.java

Full source code... don't know how to make a patch (which probably wouldn't be applicable for new source code anyway).

PDFExample.java depends on pdfbox-app. Example PDF file included.

>  This is by no means a complete solution to extracting data tables from PDF files. However, it is a step in the right direction. Perhaps. Further work is needed to automatically detect the table layout.
> This consists of 2 classes... a PDFTable class to describe table layouts, and a PDFTableStripper class to extract tables and return them as an array of tables, each table being a list of rows, each row being an array of Strings, each String being one cell.
