Frequently Asked Questions

The engine uses two detection modes: rectangle-based (from PDF drawing operations like borders and lines) and heuristic-based (from text column alignment). This dual approach catches tables that single-method tools miss.

Tables with clear borders, financial statements, data tables, and grid-style layouts work best. The engine handles footnotes, continuation tables across pages, and multi-column layouts.

Currently the tables are extracted in Markdown format. You can copy the text and paste it into spreadsheet software, or use the PDF to Markdown tool for the full document.

The PDF might use images for tables (common in scanned documents), or the table structure might not have clear alignment patterns. Try the PDF to Markdown tool for the full document content.

The engine handles most common table structures. Complex merged cells may be approximated. For highly complex layouts, consider specialized table extraction tools.
