Camelot is a Python library that makes it easy for anyone to extract tabular data from PDF files.

Why Camelot?

  • You are in control. Unlike other libraries and tools which either give a nice output or fail miserably (with no in-between), Camelot gives you the power to tweak table extraction. (This is important since everything in the real world, including PDF table extraction, is fuzzy.)
  • Bad tables can be discarded based on metrics like accuracy and whitespace, without ever having to manually look at each table.
  • Each table is a pandas DataFrame, which seamlessly integrates into ETL and data analysis workflows.
  • Export to multiple formats, including JSON, Excel and HTML.

See comparison with other PDF table extraction libraries and tools.

I have observed that camelot is not detecting nested tables in the sample document I have. In the image attached, I'm getting only one table extracted as whole. Is there anyway using which we can detect the inner tables as well?
