Hi,
I am using Aspose.PDF to read a file containing a table (see the attachment) and convert the result into Markdown. However, I noticed that the ColSpan and RowSpan attributes are not accurately detected.
Here are my settings:
- Using
AbsorbedTable with useFlowEngine = true.
- Aspose.PDF version: 23.4.
This is my expected result:

However, Aspose extracts the table from the PDF into three AbsorbedTables, as shown below.
When Aspose encounters merged cells, it converts them into a separate table.

It seems that you are experiencing issues with Aspose.PDF not accurately detecting the ColSpan and RowSpan attributes when extracting tables from a PDF document. This can lead to the creation of multiple AbsorbedTables instead of a single cohesive table.
To address this issue, here are a few suggestions:
-
Ensure Proper Use of AbsorbedTable: You mentioned using AbsorbedTable with useFlowEngine = true. This setting is generally recommended for better layout handling, but it may not always work perfectly with complex tables that include merged cells. You might want to experiment with useFlowEngine = false to see if it improves the detection of merged cells.
-
Check for Updates: Since you are using Aspose.PDF version 23.4, consider checking if there are any updates or newer versions available. Sometimes, issues with table extraction and cell merging are addressed in later releases.
-
Manual Handling of Merged Cells: If the automatic detection of ColSpan and RowSpan continues to fail, you may need to implement a manual approach. After extracting the tables, you can programmatically check for merged cells and adjust the resulting Markdown output accordingly. This would involve iterating through the cells and checking their properties to determine if they span multiple rows or columns.
-
Refer to Documentation: For more detailed information on handling ColSpan and RowSpan, you can refer to the Aspose documentation on these properties. They provide insights on how to set and retrieve these attributes when creating or manipulating tables in PDF documents.
If you continue to face challenges, consider reaching out to the Aspose support team or checking the community forums for similar issues and solutions shared by other users.
