is there an area parameter?

[jorgesisco]

Using the following method, I am able to extract the entire table on a single df:

  def getTablesGRI_COH4B(self):
	
	pdf = pdfplumber.open(self.file_path, pages=self.page_range)
	frames = []

	for i in range(0, len(self.page_range)):
		try:
			page = pdf.pages[i]
			table = page.extract_table()
			frames.append(pd.DataFrame(table))
		
		except:
			pass

	df =  pd.concat(frames)
	df = df.drop_duplicates()

	return df

But I am since the tables are not the exact same size, I need to specify the cells I need but I have not noticed in the docs if that's possible.

Ps. I can't share the pdf due to an NDA, I just want to know if is posible to extract the values based on designated area.

Thanks in advance 🙏

Hi @jorgesisco, and thanks for your interest in this library. I'm not sure I understand the question 100%. When you say "based on designated area," do you mean the coordinate location on the page itself? If so, you might want to try Page.crop((x0, top, x1, bottom)) . Or do you mean the particular cells in the table? If so, there's no particular pdfplumber feature for that; it seems like something that is probably more easily handled in your own Python code, depending on the specifics of your tables.

Hello! Thanks for your reply.

I meant the coordinate location to be read on each page.
