Camelot: PDF Table Extraction for Humans
Camelot is a Python library that can help you extract tables from PDFs!
Note: You can also check out Excalibur, the web interface to Camelot!
Here's how you can extract tables from PDFs. You can check out the PDF used in this example here.
>>> import camelot >>> tables = camelot.read_pdf('foo.pdf') >>> tables>>> tables.export('foo.csv', f='csv', compress=True) # json, excel, html, markdown, sqlite >>> tables[0] >>> tables[0].parsing_report { 'accuracy': 99.02, 'whitespace': 12.24, 'order': 1, 'page': 1 } >>> tables[0].to_csv('foo.csv') # to_json, to_excel, to_html, to_markdown, to_sqlite >>> tables[0].df # get a pandas DataFrame!

Note: Camelot only works with text-based PDFs and not scanned documents. (As Tabula explains, "If you can click and drag to select text in your table in a PDF viewer, then your PDF is text-based".)
You can check out some frequently asked questions here.
Why Camelot?
- Configurability: Camelot gives you control over the table extraction process with tweakable settings.
- Metrics: You can discard bad tables based on metrics like accuracy and whitespace, without having to manually look at each table.
- Output: Each table is extracted into a pandas DataFrame, which seamlessly integrates into ETL and data analysis workflows. You can also export tables to multiple formats, which include CSV, JSON, Excel, HTML, Markdown, and Sqlite.
