		hermitcrab 8 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: OpenDataLoader-PDF: An open source tool for struct... I got excited until I read that it was Java/Python based. I'm looking for a library that can extract data tables from PDF and can be called from a C++ program (for https://www.easydatatransform.com). If anyone can suggest something, I'm all ears.

What makes Java/Python not able to be called from C++, or did you mean you have other requirements that make the project unsuitable?

I can fire up a Java program in a separate process. But it is slow and passing data backwards and forwards is clunky. Much better to be able to do it all in one process.
