Basically, this is not possible. There are few things that can be done with PDFs once they are created, and accessing table cell contents is not one of them (certainly not using free Java libraries, which -I assume- is what you're asking about).

Actually I am able to read the pdf file line by line

but the problem is my pdf consist of a table and I want to read the data Cell by Cell so that I can get the whole contents of the cell.
Cell data may have space, so I can't use space a data separator.

Please suggest something

Thanks.............

I'd be interested to see how you do that. Can you post a short code section that demonstrates it?
