Text processing Tika Parser

[Karlygash]

Hello Dear Knimers

I have never before worked before text processing nodes, hope that you will help me to learn something.

Currently I have pdf file, and I have to get different tables from this pdf file.
For now, what I ve found is Tika Parser which parses all data from file.
I have got successfully the data, but in one column and row. In addition, a bit messy…(((

Can you help me to derive data from file
Processing: test.pdf…

Thanks in advance

Hi @Karlygash -

It turns out that depending on how the PDF is formatted, this can be quite a tricky problem. This is something that’s come up on the forum before - you might start here to see how other folks have approached it:

Extract Tables from PDF

Hello all, I am trying to extract a table from a PDF file. Similar to the way the ‘Tabularizer’ package works in R. Is this possible in KNIME? After looking through the forum and the sample workflows, I’ve only found examples extracting text or metadata from PDFs. I want to get the table directly. Has anyone tried to do this? Many thanks.
