Interface Table

All Superinterfaces:

Block, BlockParent, Region

public interface Table
extends Block

Blocks of this subtype have been recognized by PDFTextStream to contain a table-like structure.

Currently, PDFTextStream recognizes tables only if their cells are bounded by graphical lines. Future PDFTextStream releases will include table recognition capability for unbounded tables.

Tabular data may be extracted using the functions in TableUtils, which will yield CSV-style conversions, or an appropriate OutputHandler implementation (passed to a Table instance's Block.pipe(OutputHandler) function).
