使用pdfminer.six。这里是文档:https://pdfminersix.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

将pdf转换为文本:

    def pdf_to_text():
        from pdfminer.high_level import extract_text

        text = extract_text('test.pdf')
        print(text)

Pdftotext是最好和最简单的一个! Pdftotext也保留了结构。

我尝试了PyPDF2, PDFMiner和其他一些程序，但没有一个能给出令人满意的结果。

目的:从PDF中提取文本

所需工具:

Poppler for windows: windows中pdftotext文件的包装器 对于anaanaconda: conda install -c conda-forge pdftotext实用程序转换PDF到文本。

步骤: 安装荡漾。windows操作系统:在env路径下增加“xxx/bin/” PIP安装pdftotext

import pdftotext
 
# Load your PDF
with open("Target.pdf", "rb") as f:
    pdf = pdftotext.PDF(f)
 
# Save all text to a txt file.
with open('output.txt', 'w') as f:
    f.write("\n\n".join(pdf))

一种更健壮的方法，假设有多个PDF或只有一个!

import os
from PyPDF2 import PdfFileWriter, PdfFileReader
from io import BytesIO

mydir = # specify path to your directory where PDF or PDF's are

for arch in os.listdir(mydir): 
    buffer = io.BytesIO()
    archpath = os.path.join(mydir, arch)
    with open(archpath) as f:
            pdfFileObj = open(archpath, 'rb')
            pdfReader = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(pdfFileObj)
            pdfReader.numPages
            pageObj = pdfReader.getPage(0) 
            ley = pageObj.extractText()
            file1 = open("myfile.txt","w")
            file1.writelines(ley)
            file1.close()
            

试试borb，一个纯python PDF库

import typing  
from borb.pdf.document import Document  
from borb.pdf.pdf import PDF  
from borb.toolkit.text.simple_text_extraction import SimpleTextExtraction  


def main():

    # variable to hold Document instance
    doc: typing.Optional[Document] = None  

    # this implementation of EventListener handles text-rendering instructions
    l: SimpleTextExtraction = SimpleTextExtraction()  

    # open the document, passing along the array of listeners
    with open("input.pdf", "rb") as in_file_handle:  
        doc = PDF.loads(in_file_handle, [l])  
  
    # were we able to read the document?
    assert doc is not None  

    # print the text on page 0
    print(l.get_text(0))  

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

我正在添加代码来实现这一点: 这对我来说很好:

# required python packages
# tabula-py==1.0.0
# PyPDF2==1.26.0
