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
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)
其他回答
下面的代码是Python 3中该问题的解决方案。在运行代码之前，请确保已在您的环境中安装了PyPDF2库。如果未安装，打开命令提示符，执行以下命令:
pip3 install PyPDF2
使用PyPDF2 <= 1.26.0的解决方案代码:
import PyPDF2
pdfFileObject = open('sample.pdf', 'rb')
pdfReader = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(pdfFileObject)
count = pdfReader.numPages
for i in range(count):
page = pdfReader.getPage(i)
print(page.extractText())
使用textract。
http://textract.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ https://github.com/deanmalmgren/textract
它支持包括pdf在内的多种文件类型
import textract
text = textract.process("path/to/file.extension")
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
测试pdf文件:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aUfQAlvq5hA9kz2c9CyJADiY3KpY3-Vn/view?usp=sharing
#pip install pdfminer.six
import io
from pdfminer.pdfinterp import PDFResourceManager, PDFPageInterpreter
from pdfminer.converter import TextConverter
from pdfminer.layout import LAParams
from pdfminer.pdfpage import PDFPage
def convert_pdf_to_txt(path):
'''Convert pdf content from a file path to text
:path the file path
'''
rsrcmgr = PDFResourceManager()
codec = 'utf-8'
laparams = LAParams()
with io.StringIO() as retstr:
with TextConverter(rsrcmgr, retstr, codec=codec,
laparams=laparams) as device:
with open(path, 'rb') as fp:
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)
return retstr.getvalue()
if __name__ == "__main__":
print(convert_pdf_to_txt('C:\\Path\\To\\Test_PDF.pdf'))
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.
"""
你可以从这里下载tika-app-xxx.jar(最新)。
然后将这个.jar文件放在python脚本文件的同一文件夹中。
然后在脚本中插入如下代码:
import os
import os.path
tika_dir=os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__),'<tika-app-xxx>.jar')
def extract_pdf(source_pdf:str,target_txt:str):
os.system('java -jar '+tika_dir+' -t {} > {}'.format(source_pdf,target_txt))
该方法的优点:
更少的依赖。单个.jar文件比python包更容易管理。
开始支持。位置source_pdf可以是任何类型文档的目录。(.doc， .html， .odt等)
最新的。tika-app.jar始终先于相关版本的tika python包发布。
稳定。它比PyPDF更加稳定和维护良好(由Apache提供支持)。
劣势:
一个无头小丑是必要的。
