I created a script to extract data from a pdf using tabula-py and PyPDF2. When I run my program through Jupyter-notebook and from the cmd, it works perfectly. After converting it to executable with pyinstaller, I get this error:
Error: Unable to access jarfile
E:\Users\paulhong\AppData\Local\Temp\_MEI175522\tabula\tabula-1.0.2-jar-with-dependencies.jar
Error:

I also couldn't find the folder _MEI175522 on the specified path.
My python version is 3.7.1 Java version is 1.8 pyinstaller version is 3.4 Tabula-py is the latest version
How can I fix this issue?
I had a similar problem, and I was able to solve it using the solution at this link: Unable to access jarfile 'tabula-1.0.2-jar-with-dependencies.jar'
I built my app within a virtual environment, so I added a tabula folder with the tabula-1.0.2-jar-with-dependencies.jar file to my site-packages folder. Running the command pyinstaller --add-data apps\Lib\site-packages\tabula\tabula-1.0.2-jar-with-dependencies.jar;tabula --onefile Table_OCR.py builds the executable correctly for me.
