I am trying to extract tables from pdf using camelot and I get this attribute error. Could you please help?

import camelot import pandas as pd pdf = camelot.read_pdf("Gordian.pdf") 

AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last) in ----> 1 pdf = camelot.read_pdf("Gordian.pdf")

AttributeError: module 'camelot' has no attribute 'read_pdf'

NOTE : If you are using virtual environment activate environment before do this things.

I have already faced this error.There is a no bug in your code.The problem is with camelot installation.

1 remove installed camelot version

2 install again using this command. There is a multiple ways to install camelot. Please try it one by one

• pip install camelot-py
• pip install camelot-py[cv]
• pip install camelot-py[all]

3 run your code >> i have attached sample code here

import camelot data = camelot.read_pdf("test_file.pdf", pages='all') print(data) 

Try this: import camelot.io as camelot That worked for me.

please check if you have java installed on you machine, go to your terminal and run "java -version", if you do not have you won't be able to read pdf using Camelot or tabula,

once you have installed java, install tabula-py using the command pip install tabula-py.

from tabula.io import read_pdf tables = read_pdf('file.pdf') # substitute your file name 

I abandoned trying to get camelot to work in Jupiter Notebooks to read tables & instead installed the following:

!{sys.executable} -m pip install tabula-py tabulate from tabula import read_pdf from tabulate import tabulate pdf_path = ( Path.home() / "my_pdf.pdf" ) df = read_pdf(str(pdf_path), pages=1) df[0] 

Here's the link with full installation steps:

After you install

pip install camelot-py[cv] 

Write this:

import camelot.io as camelot 

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

install ghostscript app from internet

! apt install ghostscript python3-tk pip install ghostscript

When downloading the library please pay attention to where it is downloaded. Because the library you downloaded may have been saved in another Python version
