I need to get data from the pdf file with its header for further comparing with DB data
I tried to use the pdfbox , google vision ocr , itext, but all libraries gave me a row without structure and headers.
Example: DatenNumbernStatusn12122020n442334delivered
I will trying convert pdf to excel/word and get data from them, but for this realisation i need reading pdf and write data in excel/word
How can I get data with headers?

I not found answer on my question.
I’m use this code for my task :
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDPage;
import org.apache.pdfbox.text.PDFTextStripperByArea;
import java.awt.*;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
public class ExtractTextByArea {
public String getTextFromCoordinate(String filepath,int x,int y,int width,int height) {
String result = "";
try (PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(new File(filepath))) {
if (!document.isEncrypted()) {
PDFTextStripperByArea stripper = new PDFTextStripperByArea();
stripper.setSortByPosition(true);
// Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(260, 35, 70, 10);
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(x,y,width,height);
stripper.addRegion("class1", rect);
PDPage firstPage = document.getPage(0);
stripper.extractRegions( firstPage );
// System.out.println("Text in the area:" + rect);
result = stripper.getTextForRegion("class1");
}
} catch (IOException e){
System.err.println("Exception while trying to read pdf document - " + e);
}
return result;
}
}
