pdf2table

pdf2table is a node.js library that attempts to extract tables from a pdf.

The 'tables' are extracted as an array of rows.

It uses pdf2json to extract the pdf data.

Install

You can install pdf2table using the Node Package Manager (npm):

npm install pdf2table

Simple example

varpdf2table=require('pdf2table');varfs=require('fs');fs.readFile('./test.pdf',function(err,buffer){if(err)returnconsole.log(err);pdf2table.parse(buffer,function(err,rows,rowsdebug){if(err)returnconsole.log(err);console.log(rows);});});

Note

Note that this is a simplistic implementation to extract tables. If your pdf contains other stuff that's not a table, pdf2table will still attempt to shape this data into a row. Feel free to improve and send pull requests.
