PDF Table Importer
https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/pdf_table_importer/646940040599This project is a Google Docs addon that allows users to import tables directly from PDFs. The novelty is that the addon operates on the client side only ensuring privacy of the PDF documents. The development involved utilizing an existing pdf table extractor tool written in Java and compiling it to javascript and then writing an interface for the extractor to communicate with Mozzila’s PDF.js library. Furthermore, I expanded on the extraction algorithm to work on images of tables using OpenCV for cell and row detection and then Tesseract for detecting text. Crazily this feature works completely client side. Currently with 0 marketing it has been used by over 800 users and run over 12,000 times. There's a project landing page here and a demo of it outside of google docs here.
