Thank you for contacting support.

We have noticed the output as in this screenshot so would you please elaborate about the problem while comparing it with source document. Moreover, please ensure using Aspose.PDF for .NET 19.6 in your environment.

Thank you for your reply.
I’m using Aspose.PDF for .Net 19.6 image.png (6.8 KB)

as in my code above.
kq += "|"; is end one cell,
kq += "<br />-------------------------------------------"; is end one row

and result as image.png (8.4 KB)
Expected result:image.png (5.1 KB)

My code with Asp.net. Please suggest to me to use this dll convert table data above to DataTable

Do you have any idea to read it to DataTable ? @Farhan.Raza

@luanle

Thank you for clarifying the differences.

We have logged a ticket with ID PDFNET-46577 in our issue management system for further investigations. Moreover, an efficient data table may not be created because some text is extracted as more than one TextFragment in one cell. We will let you know as soon as some significant updates will be available about this ticket.
