I did this to convert pdf contents to semi-colon separated text, using the code below. You have access to the pdf's content model, and can create your own text extraction. You can also quite easily use pdfminer as a library. See below code that works for Python 3: import sys # Process each page contained in the document. Interpreter = PDFPageInterpreter(rsrcmgr, device) This will work for those who are getting import errors with process_pdf import sysįrom nverter import XMLConverter, HTMLConverter, TextConverterĭevice = TextConverter(rsrcmgr, retstr, codec=codec, laparams=laparams) Since none for these solutions support the latest version of PDFMiner I wrote a simple solution that will return text of a pdf using PDFMiner. Line = child._text.encode(dec) #<- changedĭevice = CsvConverter(rsrc, outfp, codec="utf-8", laparams=LAParams()) Updated for version 20110515 (thanks to Oeufcoque Penteano!): def pdf_to_csv(filename):įrom nverter import LTChar, TextConverterįor child in self.cur_item._objs: #<- changed If isinstance(child, LTChar): #<- changedĭevice = CsvConverter(rsrc, outfp, codec="utf-8", laparams=LAParams()) #<- changed def pdf_to_csv(filename):įrom nverter import LTChar, TextConverter #<- changed In short I replaced LTTextItem with LTChar and passed an instance of LAParams to the CsvConverter constructor.
Python convert pdf to text update#
Here is an update for the latest version in pypi, 20100619p1. Interpreter = PDFPageInterpreter(rsrc, device)įor i, page in enumerate(doc.get_pages()): # becuase my test documents are utf-8 (note: utf-8 is the default codec)
# convert() function in the pdfminer/tools/pdf2text moduleĭevice = CsvConverter(rsrc, outfp, codec="utf-8") #<- changed the following part of the code is a remix of the

Pdf = pyPdf.PdfFileReader(open('filename.The PDFMiner package has changed since codeape posted. If all you want is the text (with spaces), you can do the following: import pyPdf pyPDF works fine(assuming that you're working with well-formed PDFs). There is an alternative to PDFMiner with a much easier API to use for extracting text. This takes in a pdf file and extracts text from it page by page using the process_page function from the PDFPageInterpreter class. # Process each page contained in thedocument. Interpreter =PDFPageInterpreter(resource_manager, device) You can use it in the following way: import sysįrom pdfminer.pdfinterp importPDFResourceManager, PDFPageInterpreterįrom nverter importXMLConverter, HTMLConverter, TextConverterĭevice = TextConverter(resource_manager,retstr, codec=codec, laparams=laparams) You can use the PDFMiner package to convert PDF to text.
