Pdf to CSV

In python there is tabula-py which can convert pdf to csv. Is there something similar in Laravel or PHP?

Why don't you use tabula-py? From my experience python packages work great.

That’s true they work great. But the current code base of the project is in Laravel and if there is no option in Laravel or PHP then the REST API in Python is a way forward.

Not true. You can run terminal commands from PHP. The simplest way is to use backticks or shell_exec() function.

Here you can read more about "backticks" and here you can read more about shell_exec().
