Hello, I hope this message finds you well. I am ROHIT KOHLI, and I am currently working on developing a robust PDF processing pipeline for extracting structured data from system-generated PDF documents, particularly bank statements. We aim to handle and analyze large volumes of data efficiently having various formats.
Our primary challenge involves accurately identifying and extracting data from tables within these PDFs, which vary significantly in format. Some tables follow a clear lattice structure with distinct borders, while others are non-lattice with no visible borders, making automated recognition and extraction particularly challenging. Given your expertise with Apache PDFBox, I would greatly appreciate your guidance on the following: 1. *Optimizing Data Extraction*: Best practices for configuring PDFBox to extract text and data most efficiently from system-generated PDFs. Any specific configurations or methods that enhance accuracy would be extremely helpful. 2. *Table Identification and Extraction*: Strategies for identifying and extracting data from both lattice and non-lattice table formats. Is there a particular approach or combination of tools within PDFBox that can facilitate this process? 3. *Structured Data Conversion*: Advice on transforming the extracted unstructured data into a structured format, suitable for further analysis and processing. If there are any recommended workflows or additional tools that integrate well with PDFBox for this purpose, it would be beneficial to learn about them. 4. *Performance Optimization*: Tips on enhancing processing speed and managing large volumes of documents without compromising on the quality of data extraction. Your insights could significantly impact our project's success, as we aim to streamline our processes and improve our data handling capabilities. I am looking forward to your expert recommendations and would be happy to provide further details as needed. Thank you very much for considering my request. I hope to hear from you soon.
