Camelot is a Python library for extracting tables from PDF files into pandas DataFrames or CSV, JSON, Excel, HTML, and SQLite formats. It also ships with a command-line interface and configurable table-detection strategies.

Use cases

  • extract tables from pdf files
  • convert pdf tables to csv or excel
  • parse tabular data from pdfs into pandas dataframes
  • scrape financial report tables from pdf documents
  • batch extract tables from pdfs via command line

When to choose

  • you need structured table data out of text-based PDFs
  • you want results as pandas DataFrames or standard export formats
  • you need tunable extraction with accuracy metrics per table

When to avoid

  • your PDFs are scanned images requiring OCR
  • you need general-purpose PDF text extraction rather than tables
  • you need a library with frequent updates and active maintenance
