Multi-page table content issue in document processing - unable to tag Page 1 table content in Page 2

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 102

I need to extract information in tabular format from order confirmation pdfs received. Each pdf has multiple items and each item will have a Name, description, Vendor and delivery date.
So the table will have four columns: Name , description, Vendor, Delivery Date with each row representing an item.

The problem arises when some details for an item are present at the bottom of one page and the remaining details are on the next page.  Example : Description in the table continuing in the page 2 , So unable to tag these rows in multipage rows.

 

For example: if this is the pdf
-----some text--------------------------------------------

-----some text---------------------------------------------

code: 1     

description: this is first item

Vendor: XYZ1

delivery date: 12.01.2024

 

code: 102       

description: this is second item

Vendor: XYZ2    

delivery date: 13.01.2024

 

code: 103      

description: this is third item

 

-------page 1 ends here---------

 

 

-------page 2 begins here--------

description(Continuing from Page): this is third item Continuing

Vendor: XYZ3

delivery date: 14.01.2024

 

code: 104       

description: this is fourth item

Vendor: XYZ4

delivery date: 15.01.2024

 

code: 105       

description: this is fifth item

Vendor: XYZ5    

delivery date: 16.01.2024

 

---------some text here--------------------------------

------------------------------page 2 ends----------------------

------------------------------pdf ends----------------------------

 

 

The document cannot be tagged correctly using custom model when page 1 content - Description is continuing on Page 2 . For the above document, the tagged tables look like this

CodeDescriptionVendorDelivery Date
101this is first itemXYZ111.01.2024
102this is second itemXYZ212.01.2024
103this is third itemXYZ313.01.2024

 

CodeDescriptionVendorDelivery Date
 Some text are continuing from page 1  
104this is fourth itemXYZ414.01.2024
105this is fifth itemXYZ515.01.2024

    Hello,

    Unfortunately, when the content of a cell spans 2 pages, there is no solution yet.

    Thanks,

    @samiak and @RamKan2021  we have the same issue, for us the date is often on the first page with the first part of the description then the amounts are on the second page with the second half of the description. This results in very poor scoring for the items tag.

    Is there a way to log this as a bug? Any thoughts on how to better tag this type of data?
