Under PDF connector , various methods available ( read by segment / Line / Word ) , it can be used to extract specific lines ,,
For Tables , I am not sure , you have to try with the segment method , and calibrate to receive correct responce

Hi,
Make sure to try versions 19.1.14.0+. It has significant improvements in PDF connector functionality. In particular there are new GetTable methods: http://help.openspan.com/191/index.htm#Components/PDFConnector_Component_Properties,_Methods,_and_Events.htm

Try to use GetPage method and then extract proxy. This proxy is pdfPage object that has LineCount property (number of lines on this pdf page), PdfLines property which is array of lines on page and GetLine method allowing you to get line by number.
Combining this with forLoop or listLoop you can iterate by all pages within PDF document and by all lines within each page.
