What did you intend to be?

The latest version of tabula-java is v0.9.2. You're pointing the tabula's version.
https://github.com/tabulapdf/tabula-java/releases/tag/0.9.2

[dr333]

ok, should I report a new issue for the warnings I am getting in the output I have shown? It is stripping off some text when extracting tables from pdfs. I confirmed the version of the jar I have in my tabula-py : tabula-0.9.2-jar-with-dependencies.jar

[chezou]

That's had already reported at #31

[dr333]

ok, thanks. So just to confirm, a re-install of tabula-py (with pdfbox2.0 of tabula-java) is all I need? I can't find the release steps of tabula-py in order to use the upgraded version of tabula-java which is based on pdfbox2.0. Apologies if I am missing something obvious here.

[chezou]

No. If you want to replace tabula-java v0.9.2 into master code, you should replace jar and modify some codes.

My PR would be helpful.

I upgraded tabula.py to use the latest jar (tabula-1.0.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar) and while it reduced these warnings, I still get some.

The main issue is that common cell headers donot get read in and not sure if the warnings are related. Please find the PDF file here: ufile.io/5xuti
You will see that common cell header in table of page 1 for instance ('Three Months Ended March 31') gets dropped.
