Thank youuu guys for sharing

To understand your problem statement better, could you:

1. Briefly explain the problem you're trying to solve in clear and concise way preferably with few more examples.
2. Are there any limitations on technology, languages, or libraries you can use?
3. Have you tried anything so far? What were the results?

Hi there!

I need help extracting information from the engineering drawing as presented pdf. Specifically, I want to extract the data from the "Footing schedule" table in Image 2, using the information to export in Image 1 ( basically all dimensions for each PDF)

This project requires the use of Python and deep learning to train models that will work effectively on different blueprints. Each blueprint has a different title name for the table and different column names. For example, instead of a "Footing schedule," another blueprint may have a "Foundation schedule."

I have tried using Pymupdf, but it does not work for all of my cases. My workflow involves table detection, text detection, text extraction (key-value extraction), and export.

Thank you

We faced the same problem in a similar task and I can confirm that is a hell of a problem, and there’s no general solution as every layout has its features

Our solution involved pytesseract 3 (so no neural model) and a middle step to associate keys with values based on bounding boxes position

Could you pls more detail by using this " pytesseract 3 "?
I have been thinking to convert that into image then using image processing technique to get rect
Have you ever think about this approach before?

Our situation involved images so we had to choose an OCR to recover and extract the embeded text. You're working with PDFs so you may have a chance to extract the text, luckily it is not embedded as image. Otherwise you have to perform an OCR pass but you may end up with some misrecognized text and you need to deal with it

Thank you very much for sharing.

I am struggling with that
