Interface Table

All Superinterfaces:

Block, BlockParent, Bounded

public interface Table
extends Block

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

Currently, PDFxStream recognizes tables only if their cells are delineated by graphical lines. Future PDFxStream releases will include table recognition capability for whitespace-delineated tables.

Tabular data may be extracted using:

• the functions in TableUtils, which will yield CSV-style conversions
• an appropriate OutputHandler implementation (passed to a Table instance's Block.pipe(OutputHandler) function)
• "manually" walking the subtree of the page's document model rooted at Tables to selectively pull out columns, rows, etc. as one's application demands
