是否有任何python模块转换PDF文件为文本?我尝试了在Activestate中发现的一段代码，它使用pypdf，但生成的文本之间没有空格，没有任何用处。
当前回答
slate是一个项目，使它非常简单地使用PDFMiner从一个库:
>>> with open('example.pdf') as f:
... doc = slate.PDF(f)
...
>>> doc
[..., ..., ...]
>>> doc[1]
'Text from page 2...'
其他回答
你也可以很容易地使用pdfminer作为一个库。您可以访问pdf的内容模型，并可以创建自己的文本提取。我这样做是为了将pdf内容转换为分号分隔的文本，使用下面的代码。
该函数只是根据TextItem内容对象的y坐标和x坐标对其进行排序，并输出具有相同y坐标的项作为一个文本行，并用';'字符分隔同一行上的对象。
使用这种方法，我能够从pdf中提取文本，而其他任何工具都无法从中提取适合进一步解析的内容。我尝试过的其他工具包括pdftotext、ps2ascii和在线工具pdftextonline.com。
Pdfminer是一个非常宝贵的pdf抓取工具。
def pdf_to_csv(filename):
from pdflib.page import TextItem, TextConverter
from pdflib.pdfparser import PDFDocument, PDFParser
from pdflib.pdfinterp import PDFResourceManager, PDFPageInterpreter
class CsvConverter(TextConverter):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
TextConverter.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
def end_page(self, i):
from collections import defaultdict
lines = defaultdict(lambda : {})
for child in self.cur_item.objs:
if isinstance(child, TextItem):
(_,_,x,y) = child.bbox
line = lines[int(-y)]
line[x] = child.text
for y in sorted(lines.keys()):
line = lines[y]
self.outfp.write(";".join(line[x] for x in sorted(line.keys())))
self.outfp.write("\n")
# ... the following part of the code is a remix of the
# convert() function in the pdfminer/tools/pdf2text module
rsrc = PDFResourceManager()
outfp = StringIO()
device = CsvConverter(rsrc, outfp, "ascii")
doc = PDFDocument()
fp = open(filename, 'rb')
parser = PDFParser(doc, fp)
doc.initialize('')
interpreter = PDFPageInterpreter(rsrc, device)
for i, page in enumerate(doc.get_pages()):
outfp.write("START PAGE %d\n" % i)
interpreter.process_page(page)
outfp.write("END PAGE %d\n" % i)
device.close()
fp.close()
return outfp.getvalue()

上面的代码是针对旧版本的API编写的，请参阅下面我的评论。
自codeape发布以来，PDFMiner包已经更改。
编辑(再一次):
PDFMiner在20100213版本再次更新
您可以使用以下命令检查已安装的版本:
>>> import pdfminer
>>> pdfminer.__version__
'20100213'
以下是更新后的版本(对我修改/添加的内容进行了评论):

以下是pypi最新版本20100619p1的更新。简而言之，我用LTChar替换了LTTextItem，并将一个腹腔镜实例传递给CsvConverter构造函数。

doc.initialize('')
interpreter = PDFPageInterpreter(rsrc, device)
for i, page in enumerate(doc.get_pages()):
outfp.write("START PAGE %d\n" % i)
if page is not None:
interpreter.process_page(page)
outfp.write("END PAGE %d\n" % i)

今天找到了解决方案。对我来说很好。甚至将PDF页面转换为PNG图像。 http://www.swftools.org/gfx_tutorial.html
PDFMiner试试。它可以从PDF文件中提取HTML, SGML或“标记PDF”格式的文本。
带标记的PDF格式似乎是最干净的，去掉XML标记只留下纯文本。
Python 3版本如下:
https://github.com/pdfminer/pdfminer.six
PDFminer给了我也许一行[第1页7…在我尝试使用它的pdf文件的每一页上。
到目前为止，我有最好的答案是pdftopipe，或者是基于Xpdf的c++代码。
请参阅我的问题，了解pdftopipe的输出是什么样的。
