In previous versions pdf2Data would fail to recognize tables that use horizontal lines that are drawn using ASCII graphics. However, in pdf2Data version 2.1.11, the correct and full recognition of ASCII horizontal lines is supported.

The screenshot below shows a table drawn using horizontal ASCII lines:

The resulting template shows the following:

Likewise, the output xml shows the following:


Ouput xml
<elements>
  <data name="DataField1">
    <table>
      <row>
        <cell>1</cell>
        <cell>2</cell>
        <cell>3</cell>
      </row>
      <row>
        <cell>A</cell>
        <cell>b</cell>
        <cell>c</cell>
      </row>
      <row>
        <cell>A</cell>
        <cell>b</cell>
        <cell>c</cell>
      </row>
      <row>
        <cell>A</cell>
        <cell>b</cell>
        <cell></cell>
      </row>
