Re: Read the table data from PDF files in Python
I've heard about camelot a while ago: https://camelot-py.readthedocs.io/ but I never really used it and cannot provide any support or comparison to other data-extraction tools or the like. -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen / Best Regards Mark Kettner -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

This will be completely useless if the original PDF is just a PDF wrapper around an image. That's what document scanners tend to produce. -- To email me, substitute nowhere->runbox, invalid->com. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Extracting data from PDFs like this is hugely unreliable because the order in which page elements show up in a PDF varies enormously. What works for one PDF may give you complete nonsense for the next. If you must do it this way, there are modules called PyPDF and PyPDF2 in PyPI which will allow you to extract the text from the PDF. You are on your own for working out how to parse the tables out of that text, though; the structures in the data you are hoping for simply don't exist. -- Rhodri James *-* Kynesim Ltd -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
