I am using tabula to read pdf tables, but get the file not found error, i have tried chardet (https://pypi.org/project/chardet/#files) to find if there is any encoding problem, but encoding was None.

from tabula import read_pdf
from tabulate import tabulate
df = read_pdf('C:\\Users\\YQ\IPA.pdf')
df

FileNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last) ~\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\tabula\wrapper.py in read_pdf(input_path, output_format, encoding, java_options, pandas_options, multiple_tables, **kwargs) 107 try: --> 108 output = subprocess.check_output(args) 109

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

  • I think the problem is with the path you are giving. `C:\\Users\\YQ\IPA.pdf` . The `\\` varies with operating system.

    The last one looks like java is required and could not be found. – PowerStat Apr 10 '19 at 05:47
  • Thanks for answering, however, i am using windows and this path was copied from the system and i have tried'/' as well. this still doesnt work. – YQ Yang Apr 10 '19 at 07:52
