Come estrarre una tabella da regioni specifiche della pagina usando API Java?

import technology.tabula.Rectangle;

public class RegionExtraction {
    public static void extractRegion(String pdfPath) throws IOException {
        File pdfFile = new File(pdfPath);
        PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(pdfFile);
        
        ObjectExtractor objectExtractor = new ObjectExtractor(document);
        Page page = objectExtractor.extract(1);
        
        // Define the region (x, y, width, height)
        // Coordinates are in points (72 points = 1 inch)
        Rectangle region = new Rectangle(50, 100, 500, 400);
        Page subPage = page.getArea(region);
        
        SpreadsheetExtractionAlgorithm extractor = new SpreadsheetExtractionAlgorithm();
        List<Table> tables = extractor.extract(subPage);
        
        // Process the extracted table
        for (Table table ; tables) {
            System.out.println("Extracted " + table.getRowCount() + " rows from region");
        }
        
        document.close();
    }
}

Come esportare le tabelle estratte in formato CSV tramite API Java?

import technology.tabula.writers.CSVWriter;
import java.io.FileWriter;

public class CSVExtraction {
    public static void exportToCSV(String pdfPath, String csvPath) throws IOException {
        File pdfFile = new File(pdfPath);
        PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(pdfFile);
        
        SpreadsheetExtractionAlgorithm extractor = new SpreadsheetExtractionAlgorithm();
        ObjectExtractor objectExtractor = new ObjectExtractor(document);
        Page page = objectExtractor.extract(1);
        
        List<Table< tables = extractor.extract(page);
        
        // Write to CSV file
        if (!tables.isEmpty()) {
            Table table = tables.get(0);
            
            try (FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(csvPath)) {
                CSVWriter csvWriter = new CSVWriter();
                csvWriter.write(writer, table);
            }
        }
        
        document.close();
    }
