This is a very interesting software. In research community still many results are only in pdf tables in papers, so obtaining them in dataframe is very useful, good job!. By the way, I would like export also in Excel files in the command line.


Hey danimolina! You can export the data into an excel by specifying it as the export format, Camelot comes with a command-line interface too! https://camelot-py.readthedocs.io/en/master/user/cli.html#cl...

You can simple do: camelot --output data.xlsx --format excel lattice input.pdf (lattice can be replaced with stream based on the type of tables in your PDF)
