pdf2csv 0.1.0

A python library and CLI tool to convert PDF files to CSV files.

PDF to CSV Converter

This project provides a tool to convert tables from PDF files into CSV format using the Docling library. It extracts tables from PDFs and saves them as CSV files, optionally reversing text for right-to-left languages.

How It Works

1. PDF Input: Provide the path to the PDF file you want to convert.
2. Table Extraction: The tool uses Docling's DocumentConverter to extract tables from the PDF.
3. DataFrame Conversion: Each extracted table is converted into a pandas DataFrame.
4. Optional Text Reversal: If the rtl option is enabled, text in the DataFrame is reversed.
5. CSV Output: The DataFrames are saved as CSV files in the specified output directory.

Dependencies

This project heavily depends on the Docling library for PDF table extraction. Ensure you have it installed before running the converter.
