Copying an area as a table
Video: How to Extract Tables from PDF
To copy an area of a PDF document as a table:
1. Use the mouse to draw a rectangle around the area that you want to copy.
You can mark up a table or any part of one, as well as plain text, even on the images.
The area that you mark up has to be confined to a single page.
2. Click the icon on the toolbar that appears next to the marked up area.
Alternatively, you can right-click the marked up area and then click Copy as Table on the
shortcut menu or press Ctrl+Alt+C on the keyboard.
Before copying a table, you can change its structure .
3. Paste the copied table into the desired application.
PDF Editor allows you to change the table structure before copying it. You can:
·
add vertical / horizontal separators;
·
delete separators;
·
split / merge table cells.
