阅读PDF的程序

Question

The program that I'm doing needs to get the text that is written on a PDF and then put the information on a spreadsheet, I also need to be able to just put the PDF on a folder and the run the code instead of putting the name of the PDF on the code.

Answer 1

This method will use an external module called PyPDF2 to convert PDF to text. This PyPDF2 package can allow you to convert, split, merge, and crop PDFs.

import PyPDF2
pdfFileObj = open('example.pdf', 'rb')
pdfReader = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(pdfFileObj)
print(pdfReader.numPages)
pageObj = pdfReader.getPage(0)
print(pageObj.extractText())
pdfFileObj.close()
