Visual Studio Code – AttributeError: module 'tabula' has no attribute 'read_pdf

I keep getting

AttributeError: module ‘tabula’ has no attribute ‘read_pdf’

in Visual Studio Code when I try to run the below code:

import tabula 

from tabula.io import read_pdf

tables =tabula.read_pdf (' C:/Users/mothe/OneDrive/Desktop/Sample.pdf ')


print (tables)

I did install tabula before installing tabula-py, and I’ve now uninstalled tabula via using pip uninstall tabula, but I still get the same problem. How can I resolve this issue?

I was expecting to not get the Attribute error and for the tables to be printed.

    pip install tabula-py

    Before installing tabula-py, ensure you have Java runtime on your environment.

    1. If you don’t have it already, install Java

    2. Try to run an example code (replace the appropriate PDF file name).

    3. If there’s a FileNotFoundError when it calls read_pdf(), and when you type java on command line it says ‘java’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file, you should set PATH environment variable to point to the Java directory.

    4. Find the main Java folder like jre… or jdk…. On Windows 10 it was under C:Program FilesJava

    5. On Windows 10: Control Panel -> System and Security -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Environment Variables -> Select PATH –> Edit

    6. Add the bin folder like C:Program FilesJavajre1.8.0_144bin, hit OK a bunch of times.

    On command line, java should now print a list of options, and tabula.read_pdf() should run.

    Here is the full guide for installation:
