How to extract text from a PDF file?
(33 answers)
Closed 2 months ago.
How can I get the content of pdf file line by line in python? I have searched in stackoverflow but could not find any good answer. Notes: pyPdf gives assertion erro, if possible something with slate and pdfminer.
from the command line:python /path/to/pdf2txt.py -o text.txt /path/to/yourpdf.pdf
You can then just take the text file it makes and use for line in file:
If you want to be efficient you would have to change pdf2txt.py, and have outfp be a python iostring, which would avoid the making a file and then reading from it.

You cannot use any type of markdown in a .txt file, using python or not.
You might want to check other files extensions such as .md files.
test = 'teste.rtf'
out_file = open(test,'w')
out_file.write("""{\\rtf1
This is \\b Bold \\b0\line\
}""")
out_file.close()

How to read line by line in pdf file using PyPdf?

I want to read a pdf file in python. Tried some of the ways- PdfReader and pdfquery but not getting the result in string format. Want to have some of the content from that pdf file. is there any way to do that?
PDFminer is a tool for extracting information from PDF documents.
Does it matter in your case if file is pdf or not. If you just want to read your file as string, just open it as you would open a normal file.
E.g.-
with open('my_file.pdf') as file:
content = file.read()

Is there a way to read a text file in reverse for Python 2.2?
Thanks for the help =)
try the following.
# method not using the `reverse` function
def read_file_reversed(filename):
return open(filename, 'r').readlines()[::-1]
It reverses the list using slicing.
Be mindful that these will load the entire file into memory.
