NameError: name 'tabula' is not defined in python

I am trying to extract only tables from pdf using tabula package and writing the output into csv, Unfortunately, the below code gives me an error as "NameError: name 'tabula' is not defined"

How to fix this issue

Code:

!pip install tabula-py
from tabula import read_pdf
from tabula.io import read_pdf
file = r"url"
df = read_pdf(file, pages='all')
tabula.to_csv('output.csv', encoding='utf-8')

Error:

"NameError: name 'tabula' is not defined"

Heres an explanation. Every time you use from module import function it will take the function, not the entire library and the functions, so if you want to use that tabula.to_csv() function, you will need to import the whole library, using import tabula.

Other Method:
You can use to_csv() and import it with from tabula import to_csv
