I'm trying to extract numbers in a PDF file using extractFileText function. It returns string format data by reading a PDF file; however, the string data is not relevant for extracting numbers since the numbers are stuck together.
Let me show an example.
This is what I want to extract:
What I get is as follow:
Norm106.1696.589.589.92>102,17.5Sel58.5459.09-0.55-0.57NA0,-0.5Max106.1698.557.617.88
But when I copied the text by the ctrl+c in the PDF file, I got the result like this:
Norm Sel Max
106.16 58.54 106.16
58.73 96.58 59.09 98.55
9.58 -0.55 7.61
I'd like to separate the numbers in the string data or import text with spaces, at least.
What is the best way in this case?
