Document.AI python client does not return tables
Question:
I want to use Document.ai to extract data from tables in my pdf.
I was following this code snippet https://cloud.google.com/document-ai/docs/handle-response#code_samples_2
But my table array is always empty. I tried to do it with pdf provided by google or with mine. But it doesn’t work.
When I put this documents into drag’n’drop example it work flawlessly https://cloud.google.com/document-ai/docs/drag-and-drop
Is there some trick to make it work with python client?
Answers:
Be sure that you’re sending the document to a Form Parser processor, as that’s the processor type that can extract tables.
If you’re already using the form parser, it would be helpful to provide the document you’re using and the sample output from Document AI.
Update: The Demo has been updated to show that Tables are extracted using the Form Parser.
