# PDF Find Table
> Integrate this step into your Zapier workflow to utilize AI technology in scanning PDF documents for tables. It returns an array of found tables, including coordinates and details about the detected columns.
## Input
| Name | Description | Required |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | -------- |
| **PDF Document URL** | Enter the URL of the input PDF document or a `filetoken://` link from [PDF.co Built-In Files Storage](https://app.pdf.co/files). If using other cloud services like Google Drive or Dropbox, ensure the link is publicly accessible. | Yes |
| **Custom Profiles** | A `JSON` string which adds options for the conversion process. See [Custom Profiles](#custom-profiles) for more. | No |
### Source PDF URL & Google
When using **Google Drive**, it’s typically recommended to choose the **File** option. For more advanced file integration techniques, see [Integrating File Sources with pdf.co](/integrations/zapier/input-file-sources).
## Output
| Name | Description |
| --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `url` | The temporary URL on the PDF.co file server. |
| `table` | An object array containing the found table results. |
| `TableData.table_1` | An object that includes a found table result. |
| `TableData.table_2` | An object holding another search result for table, following the same pattern as `TableData.table_1` for each output file. |
| `outputLinkValidTill` | A timestamp which indicates how long the `url` will be available for. |
| `error` | Details of any errors (if any). |
| `status` | The [response status](/api-reference/introduction) code. If all good this will be `200`. |
| `jobId` | The unique identifier for the job. |
| `credits` | The credits spent on the process. |
| `remainingCredits` | The credits left on your account. |
| `duration` | The time it took for the process. |
## Custom profiles
Use Custom [Profiles](/api-reference/profiles) to enhance your workflow with additional processing options. Enter `JSON` configuration to customize OCR settings, output format, text extraction methods, and more.
### Sample JSON
```json theme={null}
{ "ImageOptimizationFormat": "JPEG", "JPEGQuality": 25, "ResampleImages": true, "ResamplingResolution": 120, "GrayscaleImages": true }
```
You can use any regular API parameter from the [API Reference](/api-reference) within Zapier using the `std_params` feature in profiles. The `std_params` enables the definition of regular API parameters in a JSON format, See [Standard Parameters](/api-reference/profiles#standard-parameters) for detailed documentation and examples.
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
| -------------------------------------------------- | ------- | -------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `ColumnDetectionMode` | string | Content Groups And Borders | Controls column detection/alignment in PDF table extraction. Refer to the [Column Detection Mode](#column-detection-mode) section for more information. |
| `DetectionMinNumberOfRows` | integer | `1` | Minimum number of rows to detect in a table |
| `DetectionMinNumberOfColumns` | integer | `1` | Minimum number of columns to detect in a table |
| `DetectionMaxNumberOfInvalidSubsequentRowsAllowed` | integer | `0` | Maximum number of invalid subsequent rows allowed in a table |
| `DetectionMinNumberOfLineBreaksBetweenTables` | integer | `0` | Minimum number of line breaks between tables |
| `EnhanceTableBorders` | boolean | `true` | Enhance table borders or not |
| `OCRDetectPageRotation` | boolean | `false` | Controls whether to detect page rotation in the PDF document when OCR applied. Set to true to detect page rotation. See Support page rotation for more information. |
| `DataEncryptionAlgorithm` | string | - | Controls the encryption algorithm used for data encryption. See User-Controlled Encryption for more information. The available algorithms are: AES128, AES192, AES256. |
| `DataEncryptionKey` | string | - | Controls the encryption key used for data encryption. See User-Controlled Encryption for more information. |
| `DataEncryptionIV` | string | - | Controls the encryption IV used for data encryption. See User-Controlled Encryption for more information. |
| `DataDecryptionAlgorithm` | string | - | Controls the decryption algorithm used for data decryption. See User-Controlled Encryption for more information. The available algorithms are: AES128, AES192, AES256. |
| `DataDecryptionKey` | string | - | Controls the decryption key used for data decryption. See User-Controlled Encryption for more information. |
| `DataDecryptionIV` | string | - | Controls the decryption IV used for data decryption. See User-Controlled Encryption for more information. |
| `requestParametersDocument` | string | - | The document to be processed. |
| `responseParameters` | object | - | The parameters returned in the response. |
### Column Detection Mode
This might be case when a document contains a number of overlapping invisible text and vector objects that affect column detection. In this case you may need to fix the wrongly positioned data.
Set the options for your column detection via the following `profiles` parameters:
`ColumnDetectionMode` - available values:
* `ContentGroupsAndBorders` (default, no need to specify)
* `ContentGroups`
* `Borders`
* `BorderedTables`
* `ContentGroupsAI`
```json theme={null}
{
"profiles": "{ 'ColumnDetectionMode': 'ContentGroups' }"
}
```
