Repartition data frame after splitting to avoid skew in the data frame.It supports several splitting strategies: SplittingStrategy.FIXED_NUMBER_OF_PARTITIONS and SplittingStrategy.FIXED_SIZE_OF_PARTITION. So we can distribute the processing of one big document to all cluster nodes if needed. Splitting big documents into small pdfs for effectively using cluster resources when processing big documents.It is designed for processing small and big pdfs (up to a few thousand pages). To convert each page of a PDF document to an image we can use PdfToImage transformer. Let’s read it as binaryFile to the data frame and display content using display_pdf util function: The following example illustrated the processing of a PDF file which includes a Budget Provisions table. In order to run the code, you will need a valid Spark OCR license. Spark = start(secret=secret, nlp_version="3.1.1")ĭuring the start Spark session start function displays the following info: Start Spark session with Spark OCR import os Spark OCR can work with generated (searchable) and scanned (image) PDF files.ġ. Another intro post related to this subject is available here: Table Detection & Extraction in Spark OCR, and covers the basics steps for extracting tabular data from the PDF. Most of these documents contain tables and we need to extract data from them for business needs. PDF is very useful to format for storing medical and financial documentation. To save time and automate these laborious manual tasks, faster and more precise tools are needed such as Spark OCR, which can quickly extract tabular data from PDF. There are many organizations that have to deal with millions of tables every day. This can save a great amount of time and minimize the number of errors often associated with manual data processing.įor organizations, this is a huge benefit because tables are frequently used to represent data in a clean format. However, with the new Spark OCR table extraction feature, you can send tables as pictures to the computer which will extract all the information and automatically generate a new structured document in a simple to use format (CSV file, JSON file, data frame, etc.). If you have lots of paper files and documents that contain tables and you would like to extract the corresponding data, you could copy them manually (onto paper) or load them into excel sheets.
Table Extraction means effectly and quickly detect and decompose table information in a document. One of the sub-areas that’s demanding attention in the Information Extraction field is the detection and automatic extraction of data from tabular forms. To make sense of, manage, and access this enormous data quickly and productively, it’s necessary to use effective information extraction tools. The amount of data collected is increasing every day with many applications, tools, and online platforms booming in the current digital age.
