Hi Karambir,

Thanks for your inquiry. You are extracting only the first TextFragement from the TextFragment Collection, so you are not getting complete data. Please check the following sample code; hopefully, it will help you accomplish the task.

// Source PDF file
Document pdfDocument = new Document(myDir + "asset_102826BuffaloDippingSauceK12.pdf");

TableAbsorber absorber = new TableAbsorber();

// Visit first page with absorber
for (int pages = 1; pages <= pdfDocument.Pages.Count; pages++)
{
    absorber.Visit(pdfDocument.Pages[pages]);

    // Get access to the first table on page, their first cell, and
    // text fragments in it

    // iterate through each table of pdf
    for (int i = 0; i < absorber.TableList.Count; i++)
    {
        // iterate through each row of table
        for (int j = 0; j < absorber.TableList[i].RowList.Count; j++)
        {
            // iterate through each cell of row
            for (int k = 0; k < absorber.TableList[i].RowList[j].CellList.Count; k++)
            {
                // iterate through each cell to extract data
                if (absorber.TableList[i].RowList[j].CellList[k].TextFragments.Count > 0)
                {
                    // TextFragment fragment = absorber.TableList[i].RowList[j].CellList[k].TextFragments[1];
                    var textFragmentCollection = absorber.TableList[i].RowList[j].CellList[k].TextFragments;
                    string s = null;
                    foreach (TextFragment fragment in textFragmentCollection)
                    {
                        s = s + fragment.Text;
                    }
                    Console.WriteLine("Table {0},Row {1}, Cell {2},Text: {3}", i, j, k, s);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Hello! I am doing exactly the process you describe above, however, the table absorber is only seeing 3 or 4 fragments of the cells. I have cells where I can manually count 10 fragments but it only reads the first 3 or 4. Any suggestions?
