There is a demo module that will try to extract tables from the image and process the cells into a CSV. You can try it out with one of the images included in this repo.

1.table/demo/MainDemo

That will run against the following image:

The following should be saved to your directory after running the class table/demo/MainDemo.java.

Extracted the following tables from the image:
[('/img_test/simple.png', ['/img_test/simple/table-0.png'])]
Extracted cells from /img_test/simple/table-0.png
Cells:
/img_test/simple/table-0/0-0.png
/img_test/simple/table-0/0-1.png
/img_test/simple/table-0/0-2.png
...

Here is the entire CSV output:

Cell,Format,Formula
B4,Percentage,None
C4,General,None
D4,Accounting,None
E4,Currency,"=PMT(B4/12,C4,D4)"
F4,Currency,=E4*C4

The package is split into modules with narrow focuses.

• pdf_to_images uses pdfbox to extract images from a PDF.
• extract_tables finds and extracts table-looking things from an image.
• extract_tables_dnn finds and extracts table-looking things from an image by deep learning model.
• extract_cells extracts and orders cells from a table.
• ocr_image uses djl to OCR the text from an image of a cell.
• ocr_to_csv converts into a CSV the directory structure that ocr_image outputs.

The outputs of a previous module can be used by a subsequent module so that they can be chained together to create the entire workflow.
