tabula error 'list' object has no attribute 'to_excel'

Question

I tried to convert PDF file that contains the data table to excel file.
Here is my cord.

import tabula
  
# Read PDF File
df = tabula.read_pdf("files/Seniority List 2018 19.pdf", pages = 1)
  
# Convert into Excel File
df.to_excel('files/excel.xlsx')

but error occurred.

AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)
Input In [5], in <cell line: 9>()
      6 df = tabula.read_pdf("files/Seniority List 2018 19.pdf", pages = 1)
      8 # # Convert into Excel File
----> 9 df.to_excel('files/excel.xlsx')

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'to_excel'

PDF is from here
https://www.docdroid.net/jTWmB15/seniority-list-2018-19-pdf

How can I use ‘to_excel’??

I just mentioned the above settings in this question but still if more code is required then tell me I’ll update my question with that information. Thank you

Answer 2

instead of using df = tabula.read_pdf('file.pdf', pages = '1')

Use df = tabula.read_pdf('file.pdf', pages = '1')[0]
