[PSF-Community] Python library to extract data tables from PDF files

[Vinayak Mehta]

I've created a Jupyter notebook which shows an example of how Camelot makes
it easy to extract tables out of PDFs.


In the example, I scrape a PDF from an Indian disease outbreaks data
source[1] using requests, extract tables from
each page of the PDF using Camelot and then concat those tables.
Here's the gist!https://gist.github.com/vinayak-mehta/e5949f7c2410a0e12f25d3682dc9e873
