Textract: Combining Header and Tabular Information

Question

Hello,

I'm extracting header and table information from a PDF using Textract and need to combine them into an XML file. Currently, I'm using "AnalyzeDocument - Forms" for the header and "AnalyzeDocument - Tables" for the tabular data.

I'm facing a challenge in linking the header and table information, as the unique ID required is only in the header.

Any thoughts on how to handle this? I planned to start with the UI and then switch to the API, but perhaps it's only possible through the API.

Best,
Brian

Answer

Are you looking for table header ? If yes, then possibly look into using TABLE_TITLE. More information in the document https://docs.aws.amazon.com/textract/latest/dg/how-it-works-tables.html. It would be also great if you can share the document to help us better diagnose the issue and also refer to our best practices to optimize how you use Textract
