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?


当前回答

PyPDF2确实有效,但结果可能有所不同。我从其结果提取中看到了相当不一致的结果。

reader=PyPDF2.pdf.PdfFileReader(self._path)
eachPageText=[]
for i in range(0,reader.getNumPages()):
    pageText=reader.getPage(i).extractText()
    print(pageText)
    eachPageText.append(pageText)

在2020年,上述解决方案并不适用于我正在使用的特定pdf。下面是诀窍。我用的是Windows 10和Python 3.8

我在这里找到了一个解决方案PDFLayoutTextStripper

这很好,因为它可以保持原始PDF的布局。

它是用Java编写的,但我已经添加了一个网关来支持Python。

示例代码:

from py4j.java_gateway import JavaGateway

gw = JavaGateway()
result = gw.entry_point.strip('samples/bus.pdf')

# result is a dict of {
#   'success': 'true' or 'false',
#   'payload': pdf file content if 'success' is 'true'
#   'error': error message if 'success' is 'false'
# }

print result['payload']

示例输出PDFLayoutTextStripper:

你可以在这里看到更多细节Stripper with Python

你可以使用pytessaract和OpenCV简单地做到这一点。参考下面的代码。您可以从本文中获得更多详细信息。

import os
from PIL import Image
from pdf2image import convert_from_path
import pytesseract

filePath = ‘021-DO-YOU-WONDER-ABOUT-RAIN-SNOW-SLEET-AND-HAIL-Free-Childrens-Book-By-Monkey-Pen.pdf’
doc = convert_from_path(filePath)

path, fileName = os.path.split(filePath)
fileBaseName, fileExtension = os.path.splitext(fileName)

for page_number, page_data in enumerate(doc):
txt = pytesseract.image_to_string(page_data).encode(“utf-8”)
print(“Page # {} — {}”.format(str(page_number),txt))

下面是提取文本的最简单代码

代码:

# importing required modules
import PyPDF2

# creating a pdf file object
pdfFileObj = open('filename.pdf', 'rb')

# creating a pdf reader object
pdfReader = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(pdfFileObj)

# printing number of pages in pdf file
print(pdfReader.numPages)

# creating a page object
pageObj = pdfReader.getPage(5)

# extracting text from page
print(pageObj.extractText())

# closing the pdf file object
pdfFileObj.close()

我有一个比OCR更好的工作,并保持页面对齐,同时从PDF中提取文本。应该有帮助:

from pdfminer.pdfinterp import PDFResourceManager, PDFPageInterpreter
from pdfminer.converter import TextConverter
from pdfminer.layout import LAParams
from pdfminer.pdfpage import PDFPage
from io import StringIO

def convert_pdf_to_txt(path):
    rsrcmgr = PDFResourceManager()
    retstr = StringIO()
    codec = 'utf-8'
    laparams = LAParams()
    device = TextConverter(rsrcmgr, retstr, codec=codec, laparams=laparams)
    fp = open(path, 'rb')
    interpreter = PDFPageInterpreter(rsrcmgr, device)
    password = ""
    maxpages = 0
    caching = True
    pagenos=set()


    for page in PDFPage.get_pages(fp, pagenos, maxpages=maxpages, password=password,caching=caching, check_extractable=True):
        interpreter.process_page(page)


    text = retstr.getvalue()

    fp.close()
    device.close()
    retstr.close()
    return text

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