You start with the root which then has either an array or a dict. Each element
then has kids of various types. Are you traversing this accordingly?
Same issue the "keys" - the spec clearly says they can be various types.
Have you read chapter 14.7 of ISO 32000-1?

Yes, and it shows up when I convert to XML as well. Perhaps I am missing
something when I traverse. Currently, I only check to see if the structure tree
node contains a PdfArray or another PdfDictionary. Is there another case that I
am missing?
Also, just to repeat my previous question, how do you retrieve the keys
"Scope", "RowSpan", "ColSpan", etc. from the table? Unfortunately, they are not
a PdfName type and therefore I am left a bit confused.
Thank you for your help!

Are you sure the PDF has a structured table? Does one show up in the Tags
panel in Adobe Acrobat?

I suppose I was ambiguous in my previous post.
I have the structure tree root and am traversing through it, checking to see if
each child contains a PdfName.Table. However, this always returns false, even
though it is correctly traversing through the tree. Does anyone know where the
table is located?
Also, how do you retrieve the keys "Scope", "RowSpan", "ColSpan", etc. from the
table? Unfortunately, they are not a PdfName type and therefore I am left a bit
confused.
Thank you again.

Thank you Leonard for your response.
I've been able to extract the structure tree as a PdfDictionary, but I've been
stuck trying to locate the table / table attributes from it. How do you go
about parsing the structure tree?
Thank you again.

You need to locate the Structure Tree in the PDF, parse it and analyze it as
you wish. All the details are in that document...

Subject: [iText-questions] Viewing table attributes
Hi all,
I'm looking for some pointers on how to view attributes of a table using iText.
These include: scope, id, summary, rowspan, colspan, as outlined by section
14.8.5.7 of the PDF ISO 32000 documentation located here:
http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/pdf/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf
Does anyone know how this information is embedded in the file? I am not aiming
to edit the PDF using this information, I simply plan on running evaluative
tests on them.
Could anyone help me? Thank you very much.
