Res = n(args, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE) SCRIPT_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(_file_)) pikepdf does not support text extraction ( source)Īfter trying textract (which seemed to have too many dependencies) and pypdf2 (which could not extract text from the pdfs I tested with) and tika (which was too slow) I ended up using pdftotext from xpdf (as already suggested in another answer) and just called the binary from python directly (you may need to adapt the path to pdftotext): import os, subprocess.
#Extract text from pdf api install#
Pymupdf import fitz # install using: pip install PyMuPDF Please note that those packages are not maintained: Give it a try :-) from pypdf import PdfReader The community improved the text extraction a lot in 2022. I became the maintainer of pypdf and PyPDF2 in 2022! 😁 Having said that, the results from November 2022: That means if your use-case requires those points, you might perceive the quality differently. Anything special regarding tables (just that the text is there, not about the formatting).This benchmark mainly considers English texts, but also German ones. And some might have too restrictive licenses so that you may not use it. But they are not pure-Python which can mean that you cannot execute it. The core part is that they are way faster. Pymupdf / tika / PDFium are better than pypdf, but the difference became rather small. Depending on the data, it is on-par or better than pdfminer.six.
