Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Import Table Content from PDF

[NELLLY]

Hello,

I want to import the contents of a statistical table from Minitab to a document. To do this, I saved the table's contents in a PDF file and I used the package pdfpages.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[square]{natbib}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage{tabularx,graphicx,rotating,subfigure,booktabs,multirow}
\begin{table}
\caption{tablecaption}\hline
\includepdf[pages={1}]{tablename.pdf}\hline
\end{table}
%%%%%%%%%Table's content%%%%
\includepdf[pages={1}]{tablename.pdf}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

In the output the table is empty. Howerver, when I use the command \includepdf[pages={1}]{table name.pdf} without defining a table the content's appear. What should I do? I think that the operation is possible .

With pdfpages the PDF file is included as a complete page. Hence it doesn't work in a float environment. Use the \includegraphics command from graphicx to get the desired result.


Remarks:

• Think about creating the table directly with LaTeX code for better consistency.
• Next time kindly prepare a self-contained and minimal example to give an adequate problem description. It's not the first time that you are told to do so and we don't want to repeat that request in every single thread.
