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

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

             Summary: Extract tables
                 Key: PDFBOX-2286
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2286
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Text extraction, Utilities
         Environment: Java
            Reporter: Frank van der Hulst
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 1.8.6


 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.
