How can I extract tables from a PDF with data on rare disease incidence?
- justtologin 5y agoAmazon textract, I think there is a free tier. I also heard that excel now has an image to table input capability but I've not tried it. You may need to screenshot the pdf first, I'm not sure over the input formats that work. If you google "table extraction" or similar there will be others
- benrapscallion 5y agoWow! I did not know about textract. It worked like a charm. Extracted all the tables out perfectly - something I wasn't able to do with the web services out there.
- simonblack 5y agoYou could try pdftotext -layout <filename.pdf> I use that for extracting rental info from rent statements. "Works for Me". YMMV. I didn't have success with 'textract'
