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.
> Extract text from table, or find table co-ordinates from page. If there is no
> way to find out table, then just give co-ordinates of rectangle.
