Use Table Header

This command toggles the currently selected table's header. If it is on, the table will have a header area; if it is off, it won't.
More information about the table header and usage thereof can be found at
this help page.

Transpose Columns and Rows

When this option is set for a table, the output of the table will be pivoted so the rows will become the columns, and vise versa.
Only available when the table is selected (either a column, row or cell is sufficient).

Edit Table Name

Sets the name of the currently selected table (i.e., the table in which a column, row or cell is selected), by displaying the Edit Table Name dialog. Only available when at least one element of a table is selected.
Note that you can set the name to be empty, in which case PDF2XL CLI will assign a name to the table.
The table name will be displayed above the table on an orange background.

Automatically Find Table End

This option toggles the table's automatic length function. If it is on, will calculate the length of the table for each page the table is on, based on the contents of the table on the current page.
Note that this option is only valid for Single Page layouts; when in
Multiple Page Layouts, the table does not appear in any other page.

Find Table Using the Header

This command toggles the table's option to be found on each page by finding the table's header, based on the current header's contents. If the table does not have a header (which can be toggled by the Use Table Header command), the first row will be converted into a header automatically.
Note that this option is only valid for Single Page layouts; when in Multiple Page Layouts, the table is not searched for in other pages.

Table Layout

This sub-menu allows selection of the inner table layout calculation for the currently selected table.:

Selecting one of the options will change the table row (and in some cases, column)
calculation algorithm; if a table is changed by handle (by moving a column or row separator), this setting will be changed, but can be re-initiated using this menu.
Only available when the table is selected (either a column, row or cell is sufficient).

Append to Table

This command (or sub-menu) allows appending the table's output to other tables, or to set it back to converting alone. This is done by changing the table's name, as tables with the same name are converted together.
If the current layout has more then one table, this command allows adding the currently selected table to another.
The command's text and usage will change slightly according to the selected table:

  • If there's only one other table in the output, the text will be 'Append to Table "Name"' where "Name" is the other table's name
  • If there's more then one other table in the output, the text will be 'Append to Table' and a list of the tables will be available in a sub-menu
    If the table is appended to others, an additional command, 'Do not append this table', will be added; clicking it will reset the table's name
  • If all the tables are added together in the output, the 'Do not append this table' command will appear instead of the 'Append to Table' command

Selecting the name of a table to append the currently selected table to will change the name of the currently selected table. If the table selected in the menu does not have a name, the user will be prompted to provide one.
Selected the 'Do not append this table' command will remove the selected table's name.
