As instructions for this would blow up this answer I put them on my personal blog.
There is pdftotext which does basically the same but this assumes pdftotext in /usr/local/bin whereas I am using this in AWS lambda and wanted to use it from the current directory.ītw: For using this on lambda you need to put the binary and the dependency to libstdc++.so into your lambda function. Res = n(args, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE) SCRIPT_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(_file_)) pikepdf does not support text extraction ( source)Īfter trying textract (which seemed to have too many dependencies) and pypdf2 (which could not extract text from the pdfs I tested with) and tika (which was too slow) I ended up using pdftotext from xpdf (as already suggested in another answer) and just called the binary from python directly (you may need to adapt the path to pdftotext): import os, subprocess.Pymupdf import fitz # install using: pip install PyMuPDF Please note that those packages are not maintained: Give it a try :-) from pypdf import PdfReader The community improved the text extraction a lot in 2022. I became the maintainer of pypdf and PyPDF2 in 2022! 😁 And some might have too restrictive licenses so that you may not use it. But they are not pure-Python which can mean that you cannot execute it. The core part is that they are way faster. Pymupdf / tika / PDFium are better than pypdf, but the difference became rather small. Depending on the data, it is on-par or better than pdfminer.six. May differ for Python 2 or for an older OS.Pypdf recently improved a lot.
These instructions assume you're using Python 3 on a recent OS. PDF ( f, "secret" ) # How many pages? print ( len ( pdf )) # Iterate over all the pages for page in pdf : print ( page ) # Read some individual pages print ( pdf ) print ( pdf ) # Read all the text into one string print ( " \n\n ". PDF ( f ) # If it's password-protected with open ( "secure.pdf", "rb" ) as f : pdf = pdftotext. Simple PDF text extraction import pdftotext # Load your PDF with open ( "lorem_ipsum.pdf", "rb" ) as f : pdf = pdftotext.
