PDF tables, multi-page, fields don't line up

[PuffinPanic]

Hi,

I am trying to process some purchase order files that are in pdf format with the computer vision tools. 

I'm having a problem where the files are multiple pages with the fields extracted not lining up, meaning the data isn't in the same fields. Meaning my output looks something like this extract:

Page	Column 1	Column 2	Column 3	Column 4	Column 5	Column 6	Column 7	Column 8	Column 9
1	Line No.	Product	Code	Description of Goods	or Services			Qty	Unit of
1									Measure
2	Line No.	Product		Code	Description of Goods or Services		Qty	Unit of	Unit Price Line
3	Line No.	Product		Code	Description of Goods	or Services			Qty
3	No.	Product	Code	Description of Goods	or Services		Qty	Unit of	Unit Price
3								Measure

I've removed the actual product data because it's sensitive data, but as you can see the headers from the different pages don't line up. 

Any suggestions on how I can (easily?) line up the headers (and associated data from each page) so that I can process the data accurately please?

Thanks

I can't help with the computer vision tools.  I use the PDF Macro in the gallery.  I typically parse the header rows separate from the data.  You only need one set of the header names, the rest can be filtered out.  That way I only need to set up one header row and then I can deal with the data separately.  This is usually a lot easier to handle.

Thanks @lwolfie , I'll have a look at your solution
