Aug 21, 2017 · How can I read pdf in python? I know one way of converting it to text, but I want to read the content directly from pdf. Can anyone explain which module in python is best for pdf extraction

I was looking for a simple solution to use for python 3.x and windows. There doesn't seem to be support from textract, which is unfortunate, but if you are looking for a simple solution for windows/python 3 checkout the tika package, really straight forward for reading pdfs.

I'm trying to use Python to processes some PDF forms that were filled out and signed using Adobe Acrobat Reader. I've tried: The pdfminer demo: it didn't dump any of the filled out data. pyPdf: it...

PDFMiner's structure changed recently, so this should work for extracting text from the PDF files. Edit: Still working as of the June 7th of 2018. Verified in Python Version 3.x. Edit: The solution works with Python 3.7 at October 3, 2019. I used the Python library pdfminer.six, released on November 2018.

By default, it extracts tables from page 1 of the pdf. You can use pages='all' to extract tables from all pages of that pdf or pages=x, x is the page number of the pdf that you wish to extract the tables from, or pages=[x,y,z], where you are passing a list of page numbers you wish to extract the tables from. –

Jun 2, 2018 · I tested this with a bunch of pdf files, and it seems there are two distinct ways to insert metadata when the PDF is created. Some are inserting NUL bytes and other gibberish. Pikepdf handles both well.

Nov 12, 2023 · You could also choose to extract images from pdf and feed those separately making a multi-model architecture. I have a preference for the first. Ideally experiments should be run to see what produces better results. Text only + images only VS Images (containing both) Pdf to image can be done in python locally as can separating img from pdf.

Apr 18, 2014 · I'm trying to use Python to read .pdf files from the web directly rather than save them all to my computer. All I need is the text from the .pdf and I'm going to be reading a lot (~60k) of them, so I'd prefer to not actually have to save them all. I know how to save a .pdf from the internet using urllib and open it with PyPDF2.
