Answer 1

you are extracting from pdf_file instead of pdf_reader :

check this below working code.

from PyPDF2 import PdfFileReader
# Load the pdf to the PdfFileReader object with default settings
with open("sample.pdf", "rb") as pdf_file:
    pdf_reader = PdfFileReader(pdf_file)
    total_pages = pdf_reader.getNumPages()
    print(total_pages)
    print(f"The total number of pages in the pdf document is {pdf_reader.numPages}")
    for i in range(total_pages):
        page = pdf_reader.getPage(i)
        textdata = page.extractText()
        print(textdata)
