Table : some cells are not detected

[BaptCha]

Hello,

First, thank you for this awesome library !

I have an issue with a table (where some cells are not detected properly ?) as you can see bellow:

The PDF is here page 13.

I tried all table settings without success :/

Would you mind offering some ideas on how to solve this problem? Thanks so much for your kind help!

Hi @BaptCha Appreciate your interest in the library. For the PDF you shared, you can use the table settings as

{
    "vertical_strategy": "explicit",
    "horizontal_strategy": "explicit",
    "explicit_vertical_lines": p.curves+p.edges,
    "explicit_horizontal_lines": p.curves + p.edges,
}

where p is the page object. p = pdf.pages[12].

Following is the output I get

['System organ class', 'Prevention of \nVTE in adult \npatients who \nhave undergone \nelective hip or \nknee replacement \nsurgery (VTEp)', 'Prevention of \nstroke and \nsystemic \nembolism in \nadult patients \nwith NVAF, with \none or more risk \nfactors (NVAF)', 'Treatment of DVT \nand PE, and \nprevention of \nrecurrent DVT and \nPE (VTEt)']

Hi @samkit-jain,

That solved it !
Thanks you very much, you made my day.

Thanks again for this awesome lib !

Hi again :)

The preceding solution is working great but I get some wrong results as you can see bellow:

{
    "vertical_strategy": "explicit",
    "horizontal_strategy": "explicit",
    "explicit_vertical_lines": p.curves+p.edges,
    "explicit_horizontal_lines": p.curves + p.edges,
}

I do not care about the figure at the top but I am trying to get the table at the bottom.
Somehow the figure edges and curves at the top are screwing up the table parsing at the bottom.

Using default parameters or keeping the proposed one with cropping the page around the table solve it.
That being said I am looking to find a general solution that works everywhere without human intervention.

If anyone has any ideas in mind, I would be very grateful.

The PDF is here page 11.

Hi @zangar111, can you provide the PDF and a short Python script that reproduces problem you're seeing?

Hi @zangar111, can you provide the code/PDF directly here, rather than via Telegram links? Alternatively, you can email them to me at the address listed in my profile.
