$ tabula --no-spreadsheet ${file-pdf}
try on your machine
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.
