Hi jeen Dzul,

As far as i know, I don't think abbyy retains table start and end information in .txt. You can try out xml output from abbyy using documentConversion profile(retains document structure) instead of textExtraction. Refer here more on profiles.

In the xml response you can look for block tag with attribute blockType='Table' like below,

<row>

</row>

</block>

Refer here to know more on xml tags.

Thanks,

Vishnu
