CalledProcessError: Command '['java', '-Dfile.encoding=UTF8', '-jar',

[kdshreyas]

Summary of your issue

Refer: chezou/tabula-py#349

I encountered an issue while processing a PDF file where a specific page consistently triggers a "CalledProcessError" with the following command: ['java', '-Dfile.encoding=UTF8', '-jar']. This error disrupts the processing flow and prevents further execution.

CalledProcessError: Command '['java', '-Dfile.encoding=UTF8', '-jar', 'D:\Anaconda\envs\dev_env\lib\site-packages\tabula\tabula-1.0.5-jar-with-dependencies.jar', '--pages', '1', '--lattice', '--format', 'JSON'

test pdf to reproduce the issue:
test_pdf_output.pdf

Code to reproduce the error:

inputpdf = 'test_pdf_output.pdf'
page = 1
tables = tabula.read_pdf(inputpdf, pages = page, lattice = True, guess = False)
df = tables[0]

Expected behavior:
The command should execute successfully on the page of the PDF file, without encountering any errors.

Actual behavior:
The error "CalledProcessError" is encountered when processing the specified page within the PDF file.

This is something same as #218, lattice mode triggers the exception.

@kdshreyas Could you please update the issue, not copying your original issue, but referencing my minimal reproductive command and output? You should not use tabula-py template.

Hey @chezou,
I have updated the issue, but I am bit unsure what exactly to update in issue raised, please guide me.

This is the tabula-java repo. You should not describe tabula-py code.

This is the reproducible command for the issue:

$ java  -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -jar tabula/tabula-1.0.5-jar-with-dependencies.jar --pages 1 --lattice ~/Downloads/test_pdf_output.pdf
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: lines must be orthogonal, vertical and horizontal

When I remove the lattice option, it works.

$ java  -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -jar tabula/tabula-1.0.5-jar-with-dependencies.jar --pages 1  ~/Downloads/test_pdf_output.pdf
