• Abstract: tabulapdf is an R package that utilizes the Tabula Java library to import tables from PDF files directly into R. This tool can reduce time and effort in data extraction processes in fields like investigative journalism. It allows for automatic and manual table extraction, the latter facilitated through a Shiny interface, enabling manual areas selection with a computer mouse for data retrieval.

  Table structure recognition (TSR) aims to parse the inherent structure of a table from its input image. "Split-and-merge" paradigm is a pivotal approach to parse table structure, where the table separation line detection is crucial. We propose SEMv3 (SEM: Split, Embed and Merge), a method that is both fast and robust for detecting table separation lines.
