**Camelot** is a Python library 
that allows for the easy extraction of data tables from #key# PDF: Portable Document Format #key# files. However, this library only works with #key# text-based PDFs: which allow data to be selected through cursor #key# and not with scanned PDFs.

Camelot has multiple settings that can be tweaked for better extraction of data in tables. This offers more control over the extraction process than other available libraries.

# Installation
The following command installs Camelot:
```
pip install "camelot-py[cv]"
```

# Usage
Below is a basic code that reads a table in a PDF and converts it to a CSV and Dataframe:

```
import camelot
table = camelot.read_pdf('sample.pdf')
print(table)  // Displays the number of tables read from the pdf

table.export('sample_table.csv', f='csv', compress=True) // saves the table to a csv file.

table[0] // displays the table shape

tables[0].df // converts the table to a dataframe.
```
