pdfminer | Python PDF Parser

How do I use PDFminer in python to crop a page using crop box and save the cropped page in a new pdf? Documentation is non-existent and the internet has no answers.

I need to extract the text from the pdf files.

The problem is some pages of the files is the scanned pdf, which the text can't be retrieved using the PyPDF or PDFMiner. So the text is empty.

Could anyone please give me a hint of how to process?

I have a simple problem in trying to detect the vertical text elements within pdfminer.six. I can read vertical text with no problem using a code snippet like this:

I'm trying to extract images from a PDF file using pdfminer.six

There doesn't seem to be any documentation about how to do this with Python.

This is what I have so far:

I wrote code that sucessfully parses thousands of different kind of pdfs.

However with this pdf, i get an error. Here is a very simple test code sample, that reproduces the error. My original code is too long to share here

I install new modules via the following command in my miniconda

Update: I am interested in multiple sentences in one string.

I have been following this handy tutorial, that offers variations of my requirements.

How can I capitalise just the first letter of multiple sentences?

Sentence being either of the three: . ! ?.

Code:

PDF, pg 3

I have this pdf table data which looks standard but when I extract the whole text into a string object the data is extracted in "bunches" from same column rather than line by line. Screenshots attached.

Sample pdf file attached here

I just need data from 2 columns - 1) Security Name 2) Market Value in Deal CCY/Market Value in Fund CCY

I am interested in extracting some information from some PDF files that look like this. I only need the information at pages 2 and after which looks like this:

1. (U) country: On [date] [text]. (text in brackets)

This means it always starts with a number a dot a country and finishes with brackets which brackets may also go to the next line too.

My implementation in python is the following:

1. use pdfminer extract_text function to get the whole text.
2. Then use re.findall function in the whole text using this regex ^\d{1,2}\. \(u\) \w+.\w*.\w*:.* on \d{1,2} \w+.*$ with the re.MULTILINE option too.

I have noticed that this extracts the first line of all the paragraphs that I am interested in, but I cannot find a way to grab everything until the end of the paragraph which is the brackets (.*).

I was wondering if anyone can provide some help into this. I was hoping I can match this by only one regex. Otherwise I might try split it by line and iterate through each one.

Thanks in advance.
