Can Document AI OCR Processor extract tables?

Question

I swear I read somewhere that v1beta3 of the OCR Processor could do table extraction. I tested using the 2020 and 2022 version and have had no table data being returned. Did I just imagine what I read or am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

For detecting and extracting data from tables, use the Form Parser processor

And it's recommended to use the v1 API for production applications rather than v1beta3 or v1beta2

Which Processor should I use?
