Excalibur is a self-hosted web interface for extracting tabular data from text-based PDFs, built on top of the Camelot PDF table extraction library. Users upload PDFs, select or auto-detect tables by drawing boxes, and download results as CSV, Excel, JSON, or HTML.

Use cases

  • extract tables from pdf files
  • convert pdf tables to csv or excel
  • scrape tabular data from text-based pdfs
  • select table regions in a pdf and export data
  • alternative to tabula for pdf table extraction
  • batch download tables from pdf reports

When to choose

  • you want a point-and-click GUI instead of writing Python code with Camelot
  • your PDFs are text-based (you can select text in a viewer)
  • you need exports in CSV, Excel, JSON, or HTML formats
  • you want a free, self-hosted Tabula alternative

When to avoid

  • your PDFs are scanned images rather than text-based
  • you need fully automated, headless bulk extraction without a UI (use Camelot directly)
  • you need OCR for image-only documents
