删除 html beautifulsoup 中的签名

Question

i'm tring to parse an etire PDF using beautifulsoup but i'm facing certain issues as the signature is falling inbetween. I use Adobe Acrobat to covert HTML to PDF as it is the closest to preserving the layout.

Converted HTML file: HTML drive link

signature to remove

when i parse the li tags to get text, these small 'signature not verified' and other small texts associated with them mix into the text i need.

is there a way to remove them? please help.

Answer 1

This example will remove ( .extract ) the not needed <img> and <p> tags from the document:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup


soup = BeautifulSoup(open("page.html"), "html.parser")
p = soup.select_one('p:has(img[alt="image"])')

to_delete = []
while True:
    to_delete.append(p)
    if "Reason:" in p.text:
        break
    p = p.find_next_sibling("p")

for p in to_delete:
    p.extract()

print(soup)
