我试图使用Python提取包含在这个PDF文件中的文本。
我正在使用PyPDF2包(版本1.27.2),并有以下脚本:
import PyPDF2
with open("sample.pdf", "rb") as pdf_file:
read_pdf = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(pdf_file)
number_of_pages = read_pdf.getNumPages()
page = read_pdf.pages[0]
page_content = page.extractText()
print(page_content)
当我运行代码时,我得到以下输出,这与PDF文档中包含的输出不同:
! " # $ % # $ % &% $ &' ( ) * % + , - % . / 0 1 ' * 2 3% 4
5
' % 1 $ # 2 6 % 3/ % 7 / ) ) / 8 % &) / 2 6 % 8 # 3" % 3" * % 31 3/ 9 # &)
%
如何提取PDF文档中的文本?
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.
