I am trying to extract tables from a PDF file using Python (Pycharm).

I tried the following code:

 from tabula import wrapper
 object = wrapper.read_pdf("C:/Users/Ojasvi/Desktop/sample.pdf")

However, the error i got was:

"tabula.errors.JavaNotFoundError: `java` command is not found from this Python process. Please ensure Java is installed and PATH is set for `java`"
