def read_pdf(filepath, pages='1', flavor='lattice', **kwargs):
"""Read PDF and return extracted tables.
Note: kwargs annotated with ^ can only be used with flavor='stream'
and kwargs annotated with * can only be used with flavor='lattice'.
Parameters
----------
filepath : str
Path to PDF file.
pages : str, optional (default: '1')
Comma-separated page numbers.
Example: 1,3,4 or 1,4-end.
flavor : str (default: 'lattice')
The parsing method to use ('lattice' or 'stream').
Lattice is used by default.
table_area : list, optional (default: None)
List of table area strings of the form x1,y1,x2,y2
where (x1, y1) -> left-top and (x2, y2) -> right-bottom
in PDF coordinate space.
columns^ : list, optional (default: None)
List of column x-coordinates strings where the coordinates
are comma-separated.
split_text : bool, optional (default: False)
Split text that spans across multiple cells.
flag_size : bool, optional (default: False)
Flag text based on font size. Useful to detect
super/subscripts. Adds <s></s> around flagged text.
row_close_tol^ : int, optional (default: 2)
Tolerance parameter used to combine text vertically,
to generate rows.
col_close_tol^ : int, optional (default: 0)
Tolerance parameter used to combine text horizontally,
to generate columns.
process_background* : bool, optional (default: False)
Process background lines.
line_size_scaling* : int, optional (default: 15)
Line size scaling factor. The larger the value the smaller
the detected lines. Making it very large will lead to text
being detected as lines.
copy_text* : list, optional (default: None)
{'h', 'v'}
Direction in which text in a spanning cell will be copied
over.
shift_text* : list, optional (default: ['l', 't'])
{'l', 'r', 't', 'b'}
Direction in which text in a spanning cell will flow.
line_close_tol* : int, optional (default: 2)
Tolerance parameter used to merge close vertical and horizontal
lines.
joint_close_tol* : int, optional (default: 2)
Tolerance parameter used to decide whether the detected lines
and points lie close to each other.
threshold_blocksize* : int, optional (default: 15)
Size of a pixel neighborhood that is used to calculate a
threshold value for the pixel: 3, 5, 7, and so on.
For more information, refer `OpenCV's adaptiveThreshold <https://docs.opencv.org/2.4/modules/imgproc/doc/miscellaneous_transformations.html#adaptivethreshold>`_.
threshold_constant* : int, optional (default: -2)
Constant subtracted from the mean or weighted mean.
Normally, it is positive but may be zero or negative as well.
For more information, refer `OpenCV's adaptiveThreshold <https://docs.opencv.org/2.4/modules/imgproc/doc/miscellaneous_transformations.html#adaptivethreshold>`_.
iterations* : int, optional (default: 0)
Number of times for erosion/dilation is applied.
For more information, refer `OpenCV's dilate <https://docs.opencv.org/2.4/modules/imgproc/doc/filtering.html#dilate>`_.
margins : tuple
PDFMiner char_margin, line_margin and word_margin.
For more information, refer `PDFMiner docs <https://euske.github.io/pdfminer/>`_.
