Is there any function to extract the text which has a specific heading from pdf

I have multiple paragraphs in my pdf document. Each paragraph has a unique Heading to it. How can I extract the text from the pdf under a specific heading that I am looking for

Solution

  • you can use PyPDF2 python library for that, sample snippets : 

    # importing required modules
import PyPDF2

# creating a pdf file object
pdfFileObj = open('example.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(0)

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

# closing the pdf file object
pdfFileObj.close()
