Read PDF text, write specific information

Help

So I’m using Read PDF text to get all text from an Invoice and selecting specific information from it using regex and string manipulation. I want to extract the product table with its description and qty. etc. but I can’t seem to find a way to extract it, as the data in the table changes per invoice.
Here is the invoice I would like to extract:
invoice1.pdf (238.9 KB)

I was able to extract the account number, due date, vendor name and currency using vb.net language. But I am struggling to extract the product information as it is changing every invoice.

Thanks in advance.

Well, @Dewald

With some researcha nd hands on I think the following link will help you greatly and I dont think much string operation is needed if you use the following. Use the package Intelligent OCR (Microsoft) and the Taxonomy manager in studio - follow this -

I don’t want to use OCR, that is why I used the read PDF activity… So I don’t think the taxonomy will work for me here.
