Java pdf table extraction refers to the process of programmatically locating, reading, and converting tabular data embedded in PDF files into structured formats such as CSV, JSON, or Java objects. With GroupDocs.Parser, you define the exact rectangle that contains the table and let the engine handle the parsing.

186+
## How to read password protected PDF?
187+
188+
Provide the password when constructing the `Parser` object, and the engine will decrypt the document on‑the‑fly, eliminating the need for a separate decryption step. Simply pass the password string as a second argument, e.g., `new Parser(filePath, password)`, and the parser will handle protected PDFs seamlessly within your workflow.
189+
190+
## How to extract multiple pdf tables?
191+
192+
Create a separate `TemplateTable` for each table region you need to capture, then iterate over the list of templates during extraction. This approach lets you pull every table from a multi‑table invoice in a single pass. You can assign distinct names to each template, retrieve their results individually, and export them to separate CSV files or combine them as needed.
