Getting word coordinates in each cell

[satheeshkatipomu]

I am able to get bounding boxes for each using table.cells, Any pointers to get bounding boxes for each word in each cell?

@sathk882 Could you please present on what on tried? If there was error, please indicate steps to replicate the problem.

@udayrddy , I am able to get bounding boxes for each cell using table.cells but currently I have no idea whether it is possible to get individual word coordinates in a particular cell. I tried table._text but it is also giving bounding box a text segment but not at word level.

Eg:

I am able to get coordinates of "Effective Date" in the above image using table._text. But I want to get coordinates for words "Effective" and "Date" separately. But currently I have not idea

@sathk882
Listed below are the elements in the result Object, which is restricted to the end purpose
['cols', 'rows', 'cells', 'df', 'shape', 'accuracy', 'whitespace', 'order', 'page', 'flavor', '_text', '_image', '_segments', '_textedges', '_bbox']

You can work around mapping tables[-1].df and tables[-1].cells to get the cell location as below

for x, y in zip(tables[-1].df.__array__().tolist(), tables[-1].cells):
    for word, loc in zip(x, y):
        print(word, loc)

To your ask, which is completely out of scope, (I feel), especially the split of the cell value, cannot be obtained from the result. You might want to use PyPDF2 and tweak around it

Also, this, the ask, definitely not raised as an issue but asked as Stack Overflow Q&A. So, please be helpful in closing the issue and help the admin.

@udayrddy I know it is not an issue, I was just asking for pointers to do this. I do not think asking this in stack over flow will help, because i want to get word coordinates specifically in camelot. Anyways closing the issue.
