May students have expressed particular interest in extracting tables from PDFs. For this, I will present here some tools for the specific use case. If your PDF is actually a set of images (as we discuss in this Unit), you might try ‘Nougat’ by Meta.

If interested, you can also view the following Colab notebook and video demonstration.

• Video Demonstration of Nougat

• Example Notebook for Nougat

If your PDFs have the PostScript content intact, you might consider the relatively simpler Camelot package.
