The command you provided is incomplete as it includes a placeholder ${file-pdf}, but it can be interpreted based on the context.
tabula is a command-line tool used for extracting tables from PDF documents. The --no-spreadsheet flag is an option provided by the tabula tool that specifies to output the extracted tables in a tab-separated format instead of generating a spreadsheet (such as a CSV file).
Assuming the ${file-pdf} is meant to be replaced with the name or path of the PDF file you want to extract tables from, the command would look like this:
tabula --no-spreadsheet /path/to/file.pdf
This command instructs the tabula tool to extract tables from the specified PDF file (/path/to/file.pdf) in a tab-separated format instead of a spreadsheet.
