Facing issue when tried to run following code:

import camelot tables = camelot.read_pdf('test.pdf')

Error:

When I am reading a pdf filw with multiple pages, I am only getting first page by default.

When I am using this code read_pdf(sample.pdf, pages='1-2') or read_pdf(sample.pdf, pages='all') or read_pdf(sample.pdf, pages='1,2') I am getting following error.

AttributeError: 'PDFHandler' object has no attribute 'password'

Can you please fix this issue

Versions: Linux-4.9.0-6-amd64-x86_64 Python 3.6.5 |Anaconda, Inc.| (default, Apr 29 2018, 16:14:56) [GCC 7.2.0] NumPy 1.15.2 OpenCV 3.4.2

Hi,

Can you please support reading languages in Arabic fonts?

In particular, I'm trying to extract tables from this document (backup link since Scribd seems to be down right now).

Starting at page 6, the document presents lines of Arabic on the left column and lines of English in the right column. I used these commands to extract that text as a table:

tables = camelot.read_pdf('quran.pdf', pages='6',columns=['240'])
tables.export('quran.csv', f='csv', compress=False)

However, the extracted table has two issues:

1. The (I think unicode) characters for the Arabic text seem to have either been corrupted in the process or they've lost any mapping to the Arabic fonts. Even when I tried opening up the file in Google Sheets & other editors and set the font to Arabic the words would still not be properly displayed

2. Text that should have been on the same row of two different rows is instead placed in two different columns of the same row. (This is a minor annoyance that I can easily work around, and perhaps you tool already has a fix for this that I haven't discovered)

Below is the full output generated by the above command. Interestingly, in the beginning part of the file (line 3 and a bit of line 4) you can at least recognize the Arabic letters. However, again there are two issues:

1. The order of the letters has been flipped around. This is probably due to the fact that Arabic reads from right to left. I suspect PDFminer gave Camelot the letters in the "correct" left to right order, but Camelot, not being aware that the letters should be read in the opposite order, flipped the order around
2. The two lines of visible Arabic are both from the same word, the characters of which somehow got split into two different rows

This is a cleaner way to interact with the ghostscript, need to see if this PyPI package is available in anaconda or not. Also need to suppress the unnecessary logs generated by ghostscript.

EDIT: If it isn't available, maybe we could vendorize it.

Closes #152.

My code

tables = camelot.read_pdf("./test/spyglass.pdf")

The error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "camelot.py", line 1, in <module>
    import camelot

Camelot supports plotting of 5 types of geometries for debugging and tweaking parser configurations.

Plotting needs to be refactored in such a way that all plot functions return a matplotlib figure, so that they can be tested either by using pytest or matplotlib's image_comparison decorator. You can also check how pandas tests plots.

The user should be given an option to save their plots, in addition to the current option of just displaying the figure, which might fail when there are no screens available.

The new plots should also be tested to work in Jupyter notebooks.

The experimental version exists before this commit 9753889ea266c3b8e412d77eb411617ec40d8393. It uses Tesseract (using pyocr). ocropy looked promising the last time I checked, opening this issue for discussion and experiments around OCR.

An earlier issue around the same topic: #14

a pdf file has tow pages ,the first page has 3 tables,the second has 2 tables. but when use camelot.read_pdf ,with parameter： pages='all', the result return only 3 tables,not 5 tables.

import camelot tables = camelot.read_pdf('a22.pdf',pages='all') tables

Hello,

There is a daily pdf report whose last page has no tables, but whose total number of pages vary each day.

I cannot extract 'all' when there is a page with no table: _

File ~\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\camelot\io.py:113 in read_pdf tables = p.parse(

File ~\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\camelot\handlers.py:176 in parse t = parser.extract_tables(

File ~\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\camelot\core.py:221 in get_table_areas average_textline_height = sum_textline_height / float(len(textlines))

ZeroDivisionError: float division by zero

_

And cannot index the reading pages from first to second to last, as I cannot know beforehand the total number of pages.

Can you help me out?

Hello,

I am working with a pdf which I can not share due to confidentiality, however my question and issue is very simple. The pdf format is what we call "stream" BUT with vertical tabular lines between each column. So in the end I dont have row-lines but have column-lines.

When I use camelot like this: camelot.read_pdf('mypdf.pdf', flavor="stream", pages="all", split_text=True)

since my 2 columns are very close to each other (but seperated with the line I mentioned) camelot merges these two columns even I use split_text = True. Is there a harmonic method available for me to use "stream" but with appying vertial -OR- horizontal line avareness to the conversion.

I know that I can use manual-inputted column cut point coordinate with "split" parameter but all my pdf files arrives with different split coordination so I can not hardcode some points. All I have in common is these vertical column seperator lines.

Do you have a built-in solution for solving these kind of problems? If not, do you have a plan to add it in upcoming releases?

Best.

Even if i am using all these on Google colab to correctly install camelot, I am getting error when reading pdfs. It should not be this hard to install a simple library and run one line of code. If there is other way around, please let me know.

pip uninstall camelot
pip uninstall camelot-py
pip install camelot-py[cv]

# install ghostscript
! apt install ghostscript python3-tk
! pip install ghostscript

Error log from Google COLAB OSError: Ghostscript is not installed. You can install it using the instructions here: https://camelot-py.readthedocs.io/en/master/user/install-deps.html

This issue appears to have arisen repeatedly, and I have tried the fixes previously posted. Thanks for any help you can provide.

• I have installed the correct version of camelot, and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. pip install "camelot-py[base]". The same issue arose using other modifiers recommended ("[cv]", "[all]").

• I have run import camelot.io as camelot. This does not produce the AttributeError, or any error message, but the resulting TableList object is empty (<TableList n=0>)

• Dependencies are installed and up-to-date: ghostcript (9.56.1) and tcl-tk (8.6.12_1). I am able to import tkinter, and find_library("gs") returns '/usr/local/lib/libgs.dylib'.
