Would it be possible to extract only specific tables, for example you have several PDFs and you want to extract one table that has the information you want?, thanks

Hi, very good video. I don't remember if you mention this: Camelot won't work with image-based pdf, only with text-based pdf (so if you have pdf that comes from a scanner paper won't work). Only will take out the tables no the text. In OSX a text-based pdf is very likely you can use quick look and just copy and paste. It will work in a bunch of cases. For image base pdf I try with easyocr and pdf2image.

Can you extract a specific table from a page that has multiple tables

@akshayakmahanand3632 4 года назад

I have a PDF having multiple tables in it. I am using the for table in tables syntax but getting the IndexError: list index out of range erorr

@satyamgupta1105 5 лет назад

it only parses the pdfs having a separtion line. Is there any other library which can parse the tables in pdfs having no separation lines?

Hi! how can i also get a titles of tables, which actually lie outside a table (on top-left side from table)??

@asishraz6173 4 года назад

Very helpful video, I must say. Thank you for sharing with us. But I just wanted to ask, this 'Camelot' package is not workable when it comes to 'scanned images or scanned pdfs'? Please let me know if you know the solution for it. I have tried many approaches, but not able to extract the table data from the scanned image or pdf.

@tlrlutz 4 года назад

I am following the instructions provided by Camelot and when I check the version of Ghostscript (gswin64c.exe -version) on my command line my PC says "this app can't run on your PC. To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher" then the command prompt says "access is denied" any solutions?

Hi, I am having large pdf where camelot takes lot of time to read Is it possible to read one page at a time

@hayathbasha4519 3 года назад

Hi, I am having table that starts in page 1 and ends at page 2 Page1 includes header and rows Page2 contains only rows In such case how to extract page2 data using Camelot

@sreigurushyam 5 лет назад

Hi, can i get the table title as well . If yes what should i do to get it

@frankdu7364 5 лет назад

Hi, Thanks for your question! It seems Camelot won’t be very handy for such a job. Camelot is a master when extracting pure tabular data. It looked like you wanna extract text of the content. Maybe python module PyPDF2 is sth you’re looking for? Let me know. Thanks. Frank

Hi, how can we read tables that has no borders or lines defined? Any idea????

@AltafKhan-pm3lk 4 года назад

did you get any answers/solutions for this?

@ananthsireesh 4 года назад

There are two flavours of the Camelot , it by default uses lattice which works for the tables seperated with lines, but you can also flavour of "stream" which has white spaces between cells, you can refer the documentation.

@AyushSharma-bn2js 5 лет назад

@jessicalee5175 4 года назад

Hi, Would you have a recommendation if I'm trying to extract a PDF file like a bank statement to CSV or Excel?

@frankdu7364 4 года назад

Hi Jessica, Thanks for your comment. So Camelot didn't work out for you? General approach could be: 1. Use other PDF files parsers like PyPDF2 to extract raw text info 2. If your text has certain pattern, you might be able to parse the raw text line by line(You can do some filtering as well of course). 2. Parsed text to excel or csv: there are plethora of tools you can use: Python module CSV, Pandas, Openpyxl etc. But the challenge here is the pdf file parsing part. If you don't mind sharing the file, I can have a look and try to release a new tutorial based on your case. Let me know. Frank
