my experience with camelot command line

> camelot file.pdf
Error: No such command 'file.pdf'.

> camelot stream file.pdf
Error: Please specify output file path using --output

>camelot stream file.pdf --output output.csv
Error: No such option: --output

give up
don't give up

> camelot --output output.csv stream file.pdf
Error: Please specify output file format using --format

> camelot --output output.csv --format god-help-me stream file.pdf
Found 2 tables

also you manage to confuse every commercial LLM right now (well done)

I don't think this design is adequate, I'd rather have these options be place independent (--output can be placed after source file)
