Abstract:
The present application relates to a method performed at an electronic device for parsing tables in a PDF document. The method includes the following steps: receiving the PDF document containing a table area; extracting horizontal lines, vertical lines and text blocks in the table area; determining the types of tables in the table area according to the extracted horizontal lines and vertical lines; if the table is a quasi full-line table, determining the structure of the quasi full-line table in the table area according to the horizontal lines and the vertical lines in the table area with the assistance of the text blocks in the table area; and if the table is a quasi non-line table, determining the structure of the quasi non-line table in the table area according to the text blocks in the table area with the assistance of the horizontal lines and/or the vertical lines in the table area.

Claim (Index 15):
The electronic device according to  claim 13 , wherein the step of determining the types of the tables in the table areas according to the extracted horizontal lines and vertical lines comprises:\n in accordance with a determination that the number of the horizontal lines in the table area is zero, or the number of the vertical lines is zero, or both of the number of the horizontal lines and the number of the vertical lines are one or more, but the horizontal lines and the vertical lines have no intersection point, determining, by the electronic device, the table as the quasi non-line table; and determining, by the electronic device, the table excluding the quasi non-line tables as the quasi full-line table.
