We are using Aspose.PDF in our project and when the PDF file have merged columns, we are receiving only single column value, where we need to receive the multiple column values from a row…How to get multiple values if a row consist of multiple column and values
As of now we are using AbsorbedTable, where it is proving single column , when we have multiple column values in a row.

@Srikanth_Pulla,

Here is some code that will show all the content.

private void Logic(Document doc)
{            
    var pageList = doc.Pages.Cast<Page>().ToList();

    foreach (var page in pageList)
    {
        // Create TableAbsorber object to find tables
        TableAbsorber absorber = new TableAbsorber();
        absorber.Visit(page);
        foreach (var table in absorber.TableList)
        {
            foreach (var row in table.RowList)
            {
                bool foundSomething = false;
                string rowText = string.Empty;
                foreach (var cell in row.CellList)
                {
                    foreach (TextFragment fragment in cell.TextFragments)
                    {
                        if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(fragment.Text))
                        {
                            foundSomething = true;
                            rowText += $"{fragment.Text}|";
                        }
                    }                            
                }

                if (foundSomething)
                    Console.WriteLine(rowText);
            }
            Console.WriteLine();
        }
        Console.WriteLine("-----------------------------");
    }

    Console.ReadKey();
}

The problem is that when there is a cell with multiple rowspan, the rest of the content appears in another table, as you can see in the result of my code.

So I will be creating a ticket for the dev team.

I am sorry, but I am not part of the dev team. I am only a member of the free support team.
