Background Automatic Table Detection

When PDF2XL CLI is set to analyze the page and detect tables in the background, it will perform the page analysis in the background (you will be able to see a small progress indicator in the Status bar when the analysis is performed).

When the analysis is finished, PDF2XL CLI will suggest a table layout whenever you rest the mouse cursor over a location in which a table was found; the table's layout will be marked in a faded line, and the two semi-transparent Table Analysis buttons will be shown at the bottom of the document window:

You can then accept the table into the page layout by clicking on the Accept button, remove it from the analysis results (so it will not be suggested again) using the Dismiss button, or ignore it (including hiding it and the table analysis buttons) by moving the mouse cursor away from the table.

PDF2XL CLI will never suggest tables that cover an area already marked in the layout.
