Description

How to detect table from a bunch of PDF files using Camelot?

I want to input bunch of PDF files, and return True or False only.

I have 2000 PDF files and want to segregate files that contain tables.
It's impossible to open the file 1 by 1 to check if it contains table.

Research direction

No repository file, test, or entry point is named; start by reviewing Camelot's documented table-extraction API and how it handles batches of PDF files. Clarify whether the requested result is a supported API behavior or a new feature, and define done as reliably returning only True or False for each PDF.
