看看PyPDF2<=1.26.0的代码:

import PyPDF2
pdf_file = open('sample.pdf', 'rb')
read_pdf = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(pdf_file)
page = read_pdf.getPage(0)
page_content = page.extractText()
print page_content.encode('utf-8')

输出结果为:

!"#$%#$%&%$&'()*%+,-%./01'*23%4
5'%1$#26%3/%7/))/8%&)/26%8#3"%3"*%313/9#&)
%

使用相同的代码从201308FCR.pdf读取pdf .输出正常。

它的文档解释了原因:

def extractText(self):
    """
    Locate all text drawing commands, in the order they are provided in the
    content stream, and extract the text.  This works well for some PDF
    files, but poorly for others, depending on the generator used.  This will
    be refined in the future.  Do not rely on the order of text coming out of
    this function, as it will change if this function is made more
    sophisticated.
    :return: a unicode string object.
    """

您可能希望使用经过时间验证的xPDF和派生工具来提取文本，因为pyPDF2在文本提取方面似乎仍然存在各种问题。

长的答案是，文本如何在PDF中编码有很多变化，它可能需要解码PDF字符串本身，然后可能需要与CMAP映射，然后可能需要分析单词和字母之间的距离等。

如果PDF被损坏(即显示正确的文本，但复制时产生垃圾)，并且您确实需要提取文本，那么您可能需要考虑将PDF转换为图像(使用ImageMagik)，然后使用Tesseract使用OCR从图像中获取文本。

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。

它包括根据文档中的页数动态设置为每个PDF页创建一个新工作表。

import PyPDF2 as p2
import xlsxwriter

pdfFileName = "sample.pdf"
pdfFile = open(pdfFileName, 'rb')
pdfread = p2.PdfFileReader(pdfFile)
number_of_pages = pdfread.getNumPages()
workbook = xlsxwriter.Workbook('pdftoexcel.xlsx')

for page_number in range(number_of_pages):
    print(f'Sheet{page_number}')
    pageinfo = pdfread.getPage(page_number)
    rawInfo = pageinfo.extractText().split('\n')

    row = 0
    column = 0
    worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet(f'Sheet{page_number}')

    for line in rawInfo:
        worksheet.write(row, column, line)
        row += 1
workbook.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()
