​
Goal

Reconstruct financial tables from filings, statements, or reports, then send the resulting table data to review queues, databases, spreadsheets, or analytics workflows.

​
Sample Documents

Use the built-in Complex Table Document for span and hierarchy tests, or the Research Report for a shorter table workflow. Both have saved Tables output in the Platform examples.

​
Use This Workflow

Use Tables when preserving row and column relationships is more important than extracting a handful of named fields. Tables step configuration panel with merge tables and charts-to-tables options

​
Platform Steps

1

Extract the document

Upload the report and run Extract. Open the Tables tab to see detected native tables.
2

Add Tables

Add a Tables step when you need higher-fidelity table reconstruction, cross-page merging, or chart-to-table conversion.
3

Enable merge

Turn on merge for tables that continue across pages.
4

Review and export

Review citations and table structure before sending output to a spreadsheet, database, or analyst workflow.

​
Python

from pulse import Pulse

client = Pulse(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

extract_result = client.extract(
    file_url="https://platform.runpulse.com/api/examples/0e36367a-16d2-49c8-99ab-a6fe0df70409/pdf"
)

tables_result = client.tables(
    extraction_id=extract_result.extraction_id,
    tables_config={
        "merge": True,
        "table_format": "html",
        "charts_to_tables": True,
    },
)

for index, table in enumerate(tables_result.tables_output["tables"], start=1):
    print(f"Table {index}")
    print("Citations:", table["citations"])
    print(table["table_content"])

​
TypeScript

import { PulseClient } from "pulse-ts-sdk";

const client = new PulseClient({ apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY" });

const extractResult = await client.extract({
  fileUrl: "https://platform.runpulse.com/api/examples/0e36367a-16d2-49c8-99ab-a6fe0df70409/pdf",
});

const tablesResult = await client.tables({
  extraction_id: extractResult.extraction_id,
  tables_config: {
    merge: true,
    table_format: "html",
    charts_to_tables: true,
  },
});

for (const table of tablesResult.tables_output.tables) {
  console.log(table.citations);
  console.log(table.table_content);
}

​
Checks

  • Use Tables for schedule-like outputs; use Schema for named summary fields.
  • Enable merge only when cross-page continuity matters.
  • Review citations when a table has complex headers or spans.
  • Use chart-to-table conversion only when charts contain data you need as rows and columns.
  • Store table citations or page references when extracted rows feed a regulated reporting or underwriting workflow.
