To convert a PDF file to an Excel file using Python, you can use a library called tabula. Tabula is a simple Python wrapper for the Java library of the same name. Here is a step-by-step guide:
main.py29 chars2 lines
main.py34 chars3 lines
read_pdf()
function from tabula to read the PDF into a DataFrame:main.py54 chars2 lines
Note that you can specify the pages you want to read by passing a string or list of integers to the pages
parameter.
main.py48 chars2 lines
Again, you can specify the index parameter to exclude the index from being written to the Excel file.
Here is the complete code:
main.py195 chars9 lines
Note that tabula may not work with all PDF files, especially those with complex layouts or non-standard text encodings.
