^{Originally posted by **enrac5** March 8, 2024} Hi there, I am parsing a PDF with tables and I'd like to be able to detect formatting like italics and bold in the text. Any ideas on if that's possible (or any hacks anyone has) and how to do it? Edit: I have this code snippet that works for characters: ` import pdfplumber pdf_path = "/tmp/Foo_1.pdf" pdf = pdfplumber.open(pdf_path) page = pdf.pages[0] line_list = [] for char in page.chars: print(char["fontname"]) ` Which is great, but how do I do this for a given table?
