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 10):
The method according to  claim 8 , wherein the step of determining row-and-column index information and row-and-column merging information of the cells according to the determined row intervals and column intervals comprises:\n analyzing each text row to extract all text blocks in the current text row, performing vertical projection with the row interval of the current text row in sequence to determine the row index information and the row merging information, and performing horizontal projection with the column interval of the current text row to determine the column index information and the column merging information.
