Sounds like you also need to read chapter 7 (particularly 7.3,
"Objects"). That should clear things up a bit.

Mark & Leonard,
Thank you for your response, and I apologize for bringing this
up one week later.
I've read and reread the PDF specs, but I'm still confused on
what it means for kids to have various types, and what data type these
"keys" refer to. How do I check for these types? I apologize if the
question seems elementary, but nothing is working at this point.
Thank you again for your help.

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?

Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Viewing table

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

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.
2011/2/9 Leonard Rosenthol <[email protected]>
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.
