[Python] Error: module 'pandas' has no attribute 'read_pdf'

When importing the read_pdf method from pandas using

import pandas as pd


as the example demonstrated

It shows the following error message

AttributeError: AttributeError: module 'pandas' has no attribute 'read_pdf'

Environment

python --version: python 3.8.8
OS and it's version: ? windows 10
Anaconda (version 1.7.2)

I was trying to read files that are of type .pdf / .docx / .txt from a file system that is already there.
​

Example code:

import pandas as pd
import os # Os moduel for Operating System opertions
import mimetypes

# To change the current working directory to a new directory we use
# os.chdir("Directory path")
os.chdir("C:\\Users\\adity\\Documents\\Parent")

# To List the files and folders in the current working directory
# Return the file in form of List
fid = os.listdir() #filesInDirectory

# To check whether child 1 2 3 exist or not
def checkChild(d):
if len(d) == 0:
return False
if 'Child1' in d and 'Child2' in d and 'Child3' in d:
return True
else:
return False

# dc1 Directory Child One; dof Dictionary File System
# nof name of file , ext Extension

if checkChild(fid) == True: # if folders are there than read respective files
for folder in fid:
fileDir = folder
os.chdir(directory+f"\\{fileDir}") # Changing directory to respective child
dc = os.listdir()[0] # dc contains the name of file with extension
nof,ext = os.path.splitext(dc)
if ext =='':
ext = mimetypes.guess_extension(os.getcwd())

if ext == '.pdf' and fileDir == 'Child1':
child1Pdf = pd.read_pdf(f'{dc}') #**Error Line**




Error Output:

*AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last) in 9 print(dc) 10 if ext == '.pdf' and fileDir == 'Child1': ---> 11 child1Pdf = pd.read_pdf(f'{dc}') 12 13
