title: Extracting Tables from PDFs Using Tabula
body: <p>I came across a great library called Tabula and it almost did the trick. Unfortunately, there is a lot of useless area on the first page that I don't want Tabula to extract. According to documentation, you can specify the page area you want to extract from. However, the useless area is only on the first page of my PDF file, and thus, for all subsequent pages, Tabula will miss the top section. Is there a way to specify the area condition to <em>only</em> apply to the first page of the PDF? </p>
  
  <pre><code>from tabula import read_pdf
  
  df = read_pdf(r"C:\Users\riley\Desktop\Bank Statements\50340.pdf", area=(530,12.75,790.5,561), pages='all')
  </code></pre>
