- [`pdfminer.six`](https://github.com/pdfminer/pdfminer.six) provides the foundation for `pdfplumber`. It primarily focuses on parsing PDFs, analyzing PDF layouts and object positioning, and extracting text. It does not provide tools for table extraction or visual debugging.
- [`pymupdf`](https://pymupdf.readthedocs.io/) is substantially faster than `pdfminer.six` (and thus also `pdfplumber`) and can generate and modify PDFs, but the library requires installation of non-Python software (MuPDF). It also does not provide table-extraction or visual debugging tools.

It also does not enable easy access to shape objects (rectangles, lines, etc.), and does not provide table-extraction or visual debugging tools.
- [`camelot`](https://github.com/camelot-dev/camelot), [`tabula-py`](https://github.com/chezou/tabula-py), and [`pdftables`](https://github.com/drj11/pdftables) all focus primarily on extracting tables. In some cases, they may be better suited to the particular tables you are trying to extract.
