Fixed: exports only used Lattice mode. Also fixes other similar "Lattice-only" bugs. (#587, #607, #613, & more)
Upgraded build to use jruby-9.1.7.0
Upgraded build to use Java 8u121.
Lots and lots of other fixes & improvements.
Known Issues & Caveats
Note: If you are using the .jar version (for Linux/etc), you now need to open your browser to the Tabula page (http://127.0.0.1:8080/) manually.
Caveat: Tabula only works on text-based PDFs (ones where you can select text). Scanned documents do not work, and we do not recommend OCR for large files unless you have a data cleaning plan since even state-of-the-art OCR software can have significant error rates.
_OS X Gatekeeper_: If you’re running Mac OS X 10.8 or later and get a message that says "Tabula can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer" message, please let us know. (It shouldn't be happening anymore.) See this GateKeeper page for more assistance — your "Allow applications downloaded from" setting should be set to "Mac App Store and identified developers" or "Anywhere."
Downloads
Windows & Linux users need to have Java installed to use Tabula. You can download Java here. The Mac version contains an integrated copy of Java.
You can also verify that you are downloading an authentic, unmodified version of Tabula using PGP. Files are signed with Mike Tigas’ key (0xA993E7156E0E9923), which is available here, on Keybase, or on most key servers.
Download the .zip of the Tabula version you want and also download the corresponding .zip.asc, then use the gpg --verify command, such as:
$ gpg --verify tabula-jar-1.1.1.zip.asc
You will want the output to contain Good signature from "Mike Tigas <...>" somewhere in it.
