How to manage such table?

[anakin87]

I can't parse correctly tables like this.

Copia di FI DIMENSIONE Multivalore Italia Mod 220384 Ed 05-2018-34-34.pdf

I tried using lattice and got only two rows, like this:

Numero di anni interamente trascorsi dalla dec... | Aliquota di riduzione
<1 1 2 3 4 ≥5 | Riscatto non ammesso 3,00% 2,00% 1,00% 0,50% 0...

On the contrary, stream captures the whole page and seems to not work well.

Do you have a suggestion? Camelot can handle a table like that?

@anakin87 Thanks for the report! Till we have #102, you can plot the 'text' geometry to get the table area and specify it to read_pdf to get the table out. Alternatively, you can use the CLI to plot the 'text' geometry:

camelot stream -plot text copia.pdf

Note the top-left and bottom-right coordinates of your table, and then specify them using the -T (table area) option:

camelot --format csv --output copia.csv stream -T 54,276,542,125 copia.pdf

Hope that helps!
