How to parse PDF documents for Tables extractionusing Cloud Java SDK

For parse PDF documents to extract Tables via Cloud Java SDK , we’ll use Aspose.PDF Cloud Java SDK This Cloud Java SDK allows you to easily build cloud-based PDF creator, editor & converter apps in Java language for various cloud platforms. Open Repository package manager, search for Aspose.PDF Cloud and install. You may also use the following command from the Package Manager Console for install it using Maven.

Add Aspose Cloud repository to your application pom.xml

Add Aspose Cloud repository


    <repositories>
        <repository>
            <id>aspose-cloud</id>
            <name>Aspose Cloud Repository</name>
            <url>https://releases.aspose.cloud/java/repo/</url>
        </repository>
    </repositories>

To install the API client library to your local Maven repository, simply execute:

Steps to parse PDF for Tables extaction using Java SDK

Aspose.PDF Cloud developers can easily parse PDF documents for Tables extraction. Developers need just a few lines of code.

  1. Create a new Configuration object with your Application Secret and Key
  2. Create an object to connect to the Cloud API
  3. Upload your document file
  4. Parse PDF documents for Tables extraction in cloud storage using getDocumentTables function
  5. Checks the response and logs the result
  6. If the operation was successful, print the etracted tables
 

This sample code shows parsing PDF document for Tables extraction


    import java.io.File;
    import java.nio.file.Files;
    import java.nio.file.OpenOption;
    import java.nio.file.StandardOpenOption;
    import java.nio.file.Path;
    import com.google.gson.Gson;

    import com.aspose.asposecloudpdf.api.PdfApi;
    import com.aspose.asposecloudpdf.model.TableRecognized;
    import com.aspose.asposecloudpdf.model.TablesRecognizedResponse;

    public class ParseGetTables {
        public static void extract() {
            String REMOTE_FOLDER   = "Your_Temp_Pdf_Cloud";
	    String LOCAL_FOLDER    = "c:\\Samples";
	    String PDF_DOCUMENT    = "sample.pdf";
	    String OUTPUT_FILE     = "parsed_tables_output.json";

            try {
                PdfApi pdfApi = new PdfApi(API_KEY, API_SECRET);

                // upload local PDF file to remote storage
                File file = new File(Path.of(LOCAL_FOLDER, PDF_DOCUMENT).toString());
                pdfApi.uploadFile(Path.of(REMOTE_FOLDER , PDF_DOCUMENT).toString(), file, null);
                System.out.println(String.format("File '%s' successfully uploaded!", Path.of(LOCAL_FOLDER, PDF_DOCUMENT).toString()));

                // perform action
                TablesRecognizedResponse response = pdfApi.getDocumentTables(PDF_DOCUMENT, null,  REMOTE_FOLDER);
                System.out.println("Tables extracted status: " + response.getStatus());

                String jsonResult = "[\n";
                for (TableRecognized tableDef : response.getTables().getList()) {
                    String jsonTable = new Gson().toJson(tableDef);
                    jsonResult += jsonTable + ",\n\n";
                }
                jsonResult +="]";

                // save json
                Path path = Path.of(LOCAL_FOLDER, OUTPUT_FILE);
                byte[] strToBytes = jsonResult.getBytes();
                Files.write(path, strToBytes, new OpenOption[] { StandardOpenOption.WRITE, StandardOpenOption.CREATE, StandardOpenOption.TRUNCATE_EXISTING });
            
                System.out.println("Tables successfully extracted to: '" + path + "'");
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
