How do I extract a table from a PDF online?

I have a document that I want to extract the tables from.

I've tried several ways of doing this and none of them have worked. The PDF has the tables in a "Table" element.

This is the closest I've got: PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(new FileInputStream(input));. AcroFields fields = reader.getAcroFields(); int n = fields.close(); The string variable contains a string, but when I print it, it says "null". It is because I am trying to access the data in the string before it is written. Is there any way around this?

You can use PdfTextExtractor to extract the text table from your pdf. Here is an example code to extract text tables from a PDF file. Import java.io.FileInputStream;
Import java.FileNotFoundException; import java.IOException; import com.itextpdf.PdfReader;
Import com.PdfWriter; import com.parser.PdfContentByte;
Import com.PdfContentByteProcessor;
