Not able to read pdf tables spread across multiple pages

[PraveenDevop]

Since my table is spread across multiple pages and if the horizontal line is missing, i am not able to read the table Resume1.pdf PDF link:https://onedrive.live.com/?id=690704CAD1449D85%21105&cid=690704CAD1449D85

In the pdf attached i am not able to read the 2x2 table. Can we identify tables only using vertical lines or can we detect tables by combining boundaries from both pages

I am using python 2.7 and camelot version camelot-py==0.7.2

Code used: import pandas as pd import camelot FileName="Filepath" DF3=camelot.read_pdf(FileName,multiple_tables=True,options="--pages 'all'", lattice= True) print DF3

You can try to extract tables with flavor='stream', but the output is not so good.

I think Camelot currently doesn't extract a table spreading across multiple pages as a single table, but as different tables. It would be a nice to have feature.

@anakin87 is correct, tables spanning across multiple pages aren't extracted into a single table currently.

@PraveenDevop, where did you find the following code usage?

DF3=camelot.read_pdf(FileName,multiple_tables=True,options="--pages 'all'", lattice= True)

multiple_tables, options and lattice aren't valid keyword arguments supported by the library.

[PraveenDevop]

This is from tabula arguments..

[vinayak-mehta]

Tabula keyword arguments won't work inside Camelot. You can check out the advanced guide to see what keyword arguments Camelot supports.

using the below code also not able to detect the tables import pandas as pd import camelot FileName="Filepath" tables = camelot.read_pdf(FileName,pages='1-end') print tables

[anakin87]

I suggest to use flavor='stream':

tables = camelot.read_pdf(FileName,pages='1-end',flavor='stream')
