Hello,

Does anyone have/know of code to parse pdf tables for chemical structure and activity data?

Searching the web did not result in much so I may not be searching with the correct terms.  One interesting hit was the clide code from simbiosis.

Has anyone used this for pulling structures out of pdf files?

I want to populate a repository with chemical structures and annotate the entries with the activity data given in an associated table located in the same pdf document.

Thanks
Brian
