This package allows you to extract tables from PDF files using Camelot CLI, and return the results as arrays, objects, or JSON. --- πŸš€ Features ---------- [](#-features) - Extract tables from PDFs using Camelot CLI - Structured page/table output as PHP array/object - Automatically handles temp files and directories - Detailed error handling for: - Missing Camelot - Missing Ghostscript - Invalid input file - Supports both `lattice` and `stream` parsing modes --- Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - **PHP 8.0+** This library requires PHP version 8.0 or higher. - **Camelot CLI** You must install [Camelot](https://camelot-py.readthedocs.io/) (Python) on your system. Make sure the `camelot` command is accessible in your `$PATH`. - **Ghostscript** Camelot depends on [Ghostscript](https://www.ghostscript.com/) for parsing PDF content. Ensure `gs` is installed and available in your system `$PATH`. - **PHP Extensions** - `ext-json` (for JSON encoding/decoding) > πŸ’‘ **Tip**: Run `which camelot` and `which gs` to confirm both binaries are installed and accessible. --- πŸ“¦ Installation -------------- [](#-installation) ``` composer require metolabs/camelot-php ``` > ⚠️ Make sure [`camelot`](https://camelot-py.readthedocs.io/en/master/user/install.html) and its dependencies like `ghostscript` are installed on your system and available in your `$PATH`. --- πŸ§ͺ Example Usage --------------- [](#-example-usage) ``` use MetoLabs\CamelotPHP\Camelot; $camelot = Camelot::make('/path/to/file.pdf', 'lattice'); $result = $camelot->extract('array'); // Output example: print_r($result['pages'][0]['tables'][1]); ``` You can also extract in other formats: ``` $camelot->extract('string'); // returns JSON string $camelot->extract('object'); // returns stdClass object ``` --- 🧰 Configuration --------------- [](#-configuration) You can optionally pass: - Output path (defaults to a temporary directory) - Custom binary path to `camelot` - Debug mode (to print command + outputs) ``` $camelot = Camelot::make('/file.pdf', 'stream', null, '/usr/local/bin/camelot', null, true); ``` --- ❗ Exceptions ------------ [](#-exceptions) This package throws descriptive exceptions for common issues: - `CamelotNotInstalledException` - `FileNotFoundException` - `DependencyErrorException` - `CamelotExecutionException` --- πŸ“„ License --------- [](#-license) MIT License Copyright (c) 2025 MetoLabs Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the β€œSoftware”), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software. **THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED β€œAS IS”**, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
