无边界 pdf 提取到 json 对于 Python camelot 库无法正常工作

Question

Can anyone give me quick answer/help that as we are facing some issue after pdf extraction to json using python camelot is not giving exact content. some content is missing after extraction.

Answer 1

I tried the following code:

import camelot

pdf_path = '/YOUR/FILEPATH.pdf'
tables = camelot.read_pdf(pdf_path, flavor='stream')

Here are two problems:

• headers font is not properly read, so you find strange characters like (cid:71) ...
• using flavor='lattice' , the table isn't detected. Using flavor='stream' , the table is detected, but the cells aren't properly detected.

At the moment, I think that Camelot can't properly extract this table. They are working on fixing the second problem (see this and this ).
