Extract text from PDF - Table

Hello everyone,

I want to extract text from a table inside a PDF. The layout is more or less known, the location isn't always exactly the same but the basic layout is similar in all PDFs. Simply extracting the text as an NSAttributedString or something similar won't do because it gives me the Strings in some weird order and not like line by line.

Is there a way of extracting text from a pdf with the associated location? I know there are solutions out there with the integration of tabula (the Java thing), but I would prefer not to use those.

Thanks a lot!

Jonas
