@Melbin_Antu ,
You can use the “tabula” package in python and you can read the table from the pdf. tabula package only work for native pdf. So if you have OCR pdf then read through OCR python and pass to tabula it will give you the entire table. condition is that table should be structured.

Thanks, you need more assistance you can contact.

Write tables to Excel

with pd.ExcelWriter(output_excel_path) as writer:
# Create an empty DataFrame to create at least one sheet
pd.DataFrame().to_excel(writer, index=False)

# Write tables to subsequent sheets
for i, table in enumerate(tables):
    if table:
        df = pd.DataFrame(table[1:], columns=table[0])
        df.to_excel(writer, sheet_name=f"Table_{i+1}", index=False)

print(“Tables extracted and written to Excel successfully.”)
