How to extract text from a PDF file using Python | Working with PDF files in Python | PyPDF

Extract text from PDF File using Python:
All of you must be familiar with what PDFs are. In fact, they are one of the most important and widely used digital media. PDF stands for Portable Document Format. It uses .pdf extension. It is used to present and exchange documents reliably, independent of software, hardware, or operating system.
Extracting Text from PDF File:
Python package PyPDF can be used to achieve what we want (text extraction), although it can do more than what we need. This package can also be used to generate, decrypting and merging PDF files.

Note:

Installation
To install this package type the below command in the terminal.
●pip install PyPDF2

SOURCE CODE & Link :

Let us try to understand the above code in chunks:

●pdfReader = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(pdfFileObj)
Here, we create an object of PdfFileReader class of PyPDF2 module and pass the pdf file object & get a pdf reader object.

numPages property gives the number of pages in the pdf file. For example, in our case, it is 2 (see the first line of output).

Now, we create an object of PageObject class of PyPDF2 module. pdf reader object has function getPage() which takes page number (starting from index 0) as an argument and returns the page object.

Page object has function extractText() to extract text from the pdf page.

At last, we close the pdf file object.
