Method Detail

convertToCSV

public static java.lang.String convertToCSV(Table table,
                                            char delim)

Calls TableUtils.convertToCSV(Table, char, String) with the specified Table, cell delimiter, and a single linefeed (\n) as a linebreak sequence.

convertToCSV

public static java.lang.String convertToCSV(Table table,
                                            char delim,
                                            java.lang.String linebreak)

Returns a CSV-formatted String based on the contents of the given Table, using the specified character as a cell delimiter and the specified String as a linebreak sequence.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an error occurs generating the CSV conversion

tableToStrings

public static java.lang.String[][] tableToStrings(Table table)

Returns a two-dimensional array of Strings carrying the contents of the given Table in row/cell order. For example, this:

     String[][] tableText = TableUtils.tableToStrings(pdfxstreamTable);
     String cell = tableText[0][2];
 

Obtains the textual content of the pdfxstreamTable Table, and singles out the text of the third cell in the first row of that table.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an error occurs extracting any of the table's text

convertTablesToCSV

public static java.lang.String[] convertTablesToCSV(Page p,
                                                    char delim,
                                                    java.lang.String linebreak)

Returns an array of CSV-formatted Strings, one for each Table found in the given page, using the specified character as a cell delimiter and the specified String as a linebreak sequence. This is simply a shortcut to applying TableUtils.convertToCSV(Table, char, String) to each Table in the given Page manually.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an error occurs generating the CSV conversion

convertTablesToCSV

public static java.lang.String[] convertTablesToCSV(Page p,
                                                    char delim)

Calls TableUtils.convertTablesToCSV(Page, char, String) with the specified page, cell delimiter, and a single linefeed (\n) as a linebreak sequence.

getAllTables

public static java.util.List<Table> getAllTables(Page p)

Returns a List of Table instances that are available in the given Page.
