#### Tabula helps you liberate data tables trapped inside PDF files.

If you’ve ever tried to do anything with data provided to you in PDFs, you know how painful this is — you can’t easily copy-and-paste rows of data out of PDF files. **Tabula allows you to extract that data in CSV format, through a simple web interface.**

**Caveat:** Tabula only works on text-based PDFs, not scanned (purely image based) documents. If you can click-and-drag to select text in your table in a PDF viewer (even if the output is disorganized trash), then your PDF is text-based and Tabula should work.

**Security Concerns?:** Tabula is designed with security in mind. **Your PDF and the extracted data never touch the net** -- when you use Tabula on your local machine, as long as your browser's URL bar says "localhost" or "127.0.0.1", **all processing takes place on your local machine. Even external version checks and the anonymous stats counter have been disabled in the snap.**

If you start the program by clicking on it's icon this snap starts a local web server and then automatically opens a browser window. Close the terminal window to stop the server.

To learn how to use Tabula in the best way, I recommend Alastair Otter's tutorials on YouTube: <https://youtu.be/IEusn9HB1sc>

**In addition to the Tabula server this snap brings you "Tabula-Java"** - the command line version of Tabula. Type `tabula --help` in your terminal to learn about the available parameters.

It is a **community snap** without support by Tabula's authors.
