Cannot extract tables from PDF files

Posted on by

I want to extract a table from a PDF, but when I check after running it, the variable is empty.
Please tell me what should I do.

    Hi m_uemura,

     

    First you need to check tables are available in pdf file or not. So you can use Extract Tables from PDF output variable: %ExtractedPDFTables.Count%

    If tables are available(i.e. count>0), then select the correct table index. Example in my case i got the table count 4 and my required table is 4th table as per pdf document so i provided table index 3 (i tried index from 0 to 3 one by one to find the required table)   %ExtractedPDFTables[3].Datatable%

    Please accept the solution if this helps.

     

    Regards
