Exclude images and extract table content in PDF to xml (or csv)

[Guest]

Hi Team,

One of my client is having full Adobe Acrobat Pro DC license, requirement is to extract table content from PDF by excluding the images and other content programatically using C#.net.

I could not found the required information. Highly appreciated your support in providing the understanding on how can I achieve this.

Thanks in advance.

There's no such thing as "table content" in a PDF file. There's text, and there are images, graphics and other elements.

If the text is arranged in a "table" it's only because it was placed in such a way on the page, with the graphical elements around it. You can extract it as text, but then you will need to use a complex algorithm to convert it to a table. There are some libraries that (attemp to) do it for you, but I don't know if they exist for C#.Net...

Thanks for the response. You mentioned that there are some libraries available in other than c# can you please share the information.

Can Adobe Acrobat Pro DC license supports in extracting the pdf content to XML/excel?

For example, there are some Java libraries, such as Tabula and TrapRange (both based on PDFBox).
