Its several advantages like graphical integrity, convenience, security, and compact are the significant reasons for its popularity. So, due to its wide uses, a programmer should know to handle these files while programming. Today, in this article, we will see the different tools available to handle a pdf file in the python programming language, or we can say python pdf parser tools. We will get a quick overview of different python libraries that help us handle a pdf file.

We can read a file, extract desired content from files or make necessary changes in pdf files using them. Some of these libraries are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>PDFMiner<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>PyPDF2<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>pdfrw<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>slate<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pdfminer-module\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"PDFMiner_Module\"><\/span>PDFMiner Module<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>PDFMiner module is a text extractor module for pdf files in python. It is a purely python based module and obtains the exact location of text and other layout information (fonts, etc.) for the pdf files. It helps to convert PDF into different formats like HTML, TXT, e.t.c. Let&#8217;s see the installation and example of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-installation\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Installation\"><\/span>Installation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To install the given module, we will use the following command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>pip install pdfminer<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-example-1-extracting-text-from-a-pdf-file-and-converting-into-text-file\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Example_1_Extracting_Text_from_a_PDF_file_and_Converting_into_Text_File\"><\/span>Example 1: Extracting Text from a PDF file and Converting into Text File<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: python; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\nfrom pdfminer.pdfpage import PDFPage\nfrom pdfminer.pdfinterp import PDFResourceManager, PDFPageInterpreter\nfrom pdfminer.converter import TextConverter\nfrom pdfminer.layout import LAParams\nimport io\n\ndef pdf_to_text(input_file,output):\n    i_f = open(input_file,'rb')\n    resMgr = PDFResourceManager()\n    retData = io.StringIO()\n    TxtConverter = TextConverter(resMgr,retData, laparams= LAParams())\n    interpreter = PDFPageInterpreter(resMgr,TxtConverter)\n    for page in PDFPage.get_pages(i_f):\n        interpreter.process_page(page)\n\n    txt = retData.getvalue()\n    print(txt)\n    with open(output,'w') as of:\n        of.write(txt)\n\ninput_pdf = 'sample.pdf'\noutput_txt = 'sample.txt'\npdf_to_text(input_pdf,output_txt)\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Output:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>This is a simple pdf file.\nContinued to next page...\nPage2 started....\nThis is second page of the pdf.<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>In the above example, we created a function to read a pdf file and then convert it into a text file. In that function, we first open the file and the initialized object for the resource manager class, which manages the required resources while converting the pdf. We also initialized the object for the<strong> TextConverter<\/strong> class. Then, we initialized the object for PDFPageInterpreter and pass the resource manager and text converter object as the argument of that class. Once done, we read that data from the pdf file using the <strong>getvalues() <\/strong>function and then wrote it in the output file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pypdf2-module\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"PyPDF2_Module\"><\/span>PyPDF2 Module<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although pdfminer is considered one of the best ways to handle PDF files in python, PyPDF is considered one of the easiest interfaces for doing the same. This module is also a third-party module with a lot of functionality. However, to use it, we need to install it explicitly. To do that, we will use the following command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>pip install PyPDF2<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>We can do several operations like extracting elements from a pdf document, splitting and merging documents, cropping pages, adding watermark and many more using this module. It can work entirely on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pythonpool.com\/python-stringio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">StringIO<\/a> rather than file stream allowing manipulations of documents in the memory. Let&#8217;s see an example of it.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: python; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\nimport PyPDF2\n\nfile = open('sample.pdf','rb')\npdfReader = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(file)\n \n# printing number of pages in pdf file\nprint(&quot;Total number of pages in sample.pdf&quot;,pdfReader.numPages)\n \n# creating a page object\npageObj = pdfReader.getPage(0)\n# extracting text from page\nprint(pageObj.extractText())\n \n# closing the pdf file object\nfile.close()\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p> <strong>Output:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>This is a simple pdf file.\nContinued to next page...<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>In the above example, we first opened the file and then read the file using <strong>PdfFileReader <\/strong>class. Once it is done, we can easily print it on the console or write it into any other file format.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"monsterinsights-inline-popular-posts monsterinsights-inline-popular-posts-kilo monsterinsights-popular-posts-styled\" ><div class=\"monsterinsights-inline-popular-posts-text\"><span class=\"monsterinsights-inline-popular-posts-label\" >Popular now<\/span><span class=\"monsterinsights-inline-popular-posts-border\" ><\/span><span class=\"monsterinsights-inline-popular-posts-border-2\" ><\/span><div class=\"monsterinsights-inline-popular-posts-post\"><a class=\"monsterinsights-inline-popular-posts-title\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.pythonpool.com\/fixed-typeerror-cant-compare-datetime-datetime-to-datetime-date\/\">[Fixed] typeerror can&#8217;t compare datetime.datetime to datetime.date<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pdfrw-module\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"pdfrw_Module\"><\/span>pdfrw Module<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is another module with the same functionalities mentioned above. They are like reading pdf documents, splitting and merging documents, cropping pages, adding watermarks. Along with these features, we can also use <strong>pdfrw<\/strong> along with ReportLab. It is also a third-party library and requires a separate installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>pip install pdfrw<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s see an example.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: python; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\nfrom pdfrw import PdfReader\ndef get_pdf_info(path):\n    pdf = PdfReader(path)\n    \n    print(pdf.keys())\n    print(pdf.Info)\n    print(pdf.Root.keys())\n    print('PDF has {} pages'.format(len(pdf.pages)))\n    \nif __name__ == '__main__':\n    get_pdf_info('sample.pdf')\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p> <strong>Output:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&#91;'\/Size', '\/Root', '\/Info']\n{'\/Creator': '(Rave \\\\(http:\/\/www.pythonpool.com\/))', '\/Producer': '(Python Pool)', '\/CreationDate': '(D:20060301072826)'}\n&#91;'\/Type', '\/Outlines', '\/Pages']\nPDF has 2 pages<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slate\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Slate\"><\/span>Slate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Slate is the third-party python library that is used to extract texts from the pdf file. Moreover, it depends on the pdfminer library to extract these contents and read pdf files. Slate provides one class, PDF. PDF takes a file-like object and will extract all text from the document, presenting each page as a string of text. We can&#8217;t discuss this library as it is unofficially dead and is not updated for four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pdf-to-csv-parser-python\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"PDF_to_CSV_Parser_Python\"><\/span>PDF to CSV Parser Python<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We will use a third-party module to convert a pdf file into a CSV file.

But, when it comes to converting a pdf file into a JSON file, you can&#8217;t simply do that as above. It can be a two-step process but not a difficult task if one has some developer&#8217;s experience. So, in this process, we will first convert a pdf file into a text file and then convert that text file into a JSON file. So, in the above sections, we have seen how we can convert a pdf file to a text file. This section will see how we can convert a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pythonpool.com\/python-text-to-pdf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">text file<\/a><\/strong><\/span> into a JSON file. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: python; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\nimport json\n  \nfilename = 'output.txt'\n \ndict1 = {}\n  \nwith open(filename) as fh:\n  \n    for line in fh:\n        command, description = line.strip().split(None, 1)\n        dict1&#x5B;command] = description.strip()\n  \n# creating json file\n# the JSON file is named as test1\nout_file = open(&quot;output.json&quot;, &quot;w&quot;)\njson.dump(dict1, out_file, indent = 4, sort_keys = False)\nout_file.close()\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p>So, we first read the file and converted the text of the text file into a dictionary object. Once we are done with it, we can write the data into the JSON file.
