Extract Text from any PDF File in Python 3.10 Tutorial

what if we want to extract text for any particular page

In some of the latest updates to PyPDF2 the class "PdfFileReader" got replaced with "PdfReader". Code still works fine with "PdfReader". :)

no idea how this is setup kina pointless where is pypdf do i get it from inside my bum bum? and what is this program?

Hi sir..is it Work on Local Language Like Telugu

I am pretty sure there are over a thousand isntances of the word "coffee" in the pdf. However, this seems to have only counted the number of pages that the word appeared.

The code did not work for me on a Windows 11 PC. I kept having ChatGPT analyze the code and error messages and after many tires it fixed it:

import os
import PyPDF2
import re
import math

def extract_text_from_pdf(pdf_file: str) -> [str]:
# Open the PDF file of your choice
with open(pdf_file, 'rb') as pdf:
reader = PyPDF2.PdfReader(pdf)
pdf_text = []

for page in reader.pages:
content = page.extract_text()
pdf_text.append(content)

return pdf_text


def main():
extracted_text = extract_text_from_pdf('sample.pdf')
for text in extracted_text:
print(text)


if _name_ == '__main__':
main()

I keep on getting Syntax Error: unmatched ')' on line 4 I'm running python 3.9 could that be the case?

helped me a lot. Thanks

please the resolution of your screen is not clear

great as always.

Thank you for the awesome tutorial. I have a some question about extracting articles. I hope you can help me. While extracting articles and reports there are many references and table legends, titles which is not required. Would it be possible to remove all those references and table contents including legends and titles when extracting the pdf file?

Oh, a name changed.

It's so helpful...loved it ❤

U r awesome 👏
