Cannot convert the pdf file into the CSV file

Question

I am a new python learner, I am struggling how to change the pdf file into CSV file by using Spyder.

Input

import tabula
dfs = tabula.read_pdf(r'C:\Users\home\Desktop\RN(G)_GazetteList.pdf.pdf', pages='all')

tabula.convert_into(r'\C:\Users\home\Desktop\RN(G)_GazetteList.pdf.pdf', "output.csv", output_format="csv", pages='all')

tabula.convert_into_by_batch("input_directory", output_format='csv', pages='all') 

Output

The output file is empty.
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\Users\home\.spyder-py3\temp.py", line 8, in <module>
    tabula.convert_into(r'\C:\Users\home\Desktop\RN(G)_GazetteList.pdf.pdf', "output.csv", output_format="csv", pages='all')

  File "C:\Users\home\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\tabula\wrapper.py", line 273, in convert_into
    raise FileNotFoundError(errno.ENOENT, os.strerror(errno.ENOENT), path)

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '\\C:\\Users\\home\\Desktop\\RN(G)_GazetteList.pdf.pdf'

Thank you so much

As a possible answer to serve as a reference. You could use pdftables_api:

import pdftables_api 
conversion = pdftables_api.Client('key')
conversion.csv('pdf_path','output_path')
