How to properly extract Japanese txt from PDF files

Asked 2022-Feb-22 at 16:33

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?

...

ANSWER

Answered 2022-Feb-22 at 16:33

I don't think there's a quick solution to deal with the Unicode, especially the Japanese.

One of a solution that we could go:

Iterate over the page, determine whether the page is scanned pdf or not. This could be done using the PyMUPDF, take a look at this answer.
If the page is not scanned pdf, we can extract the text from pdf as usual.
For the page which is not scanned pdf, we can convert the pdf into .png image using the pdf2image, than use pytesseract to extract data. Here by the sample code on how to read the data from image.
You might need to do some extra data work in order to get the properly words.

cannot import name 'PdfFileReader'

Asked 2021-Jan-20 at 19:27

What does this error mean? Should I install something?

...

ANSWER

Answered 2021-Jan-20 at 19:27

Solution: The pyPdf library was outdated and didn't work as intended. The use of the PyPDF4 library fixed all issues created by the outdated library.

The error ImportError: cannot import name 'PdfFileReader' means that there is an import error.

Installing pip

Pip is the package installer for Python and is required to install Python Packages.

If you are using Python 3.4 onwards, then don't worry; pip comes pre-installed.
If you are using a version of Python 3 older than Python 3.4, then the official pip install instructions can be found here

Note: you can find out what version of Python you are running by typing python --version in the terminal

Installing the PyPDF4 package

Once you have pip installed, you can now install the PyPDF4 package. This is as simple as typing pip install pdf into your terminal.

Once you've done this, you will successfully have the PyPDF4 package installed for Python.

Other Sources of Error

However, it may well be that you have the package installed. Your error could also be that you are trying to import a function from the library that doesn't exist, or the library itself contains errors.

You pass true to the $js parameter, which will not really add the checkbox to the PDF but which will include a JavaScript, which will create the field at opening time (by a viewer application that is able to execute JavaScript).

Try to pass false or left the paremeter (false = default). The method signature is available here.

You cannot provide dataframe record which is of pd.Series type into os.path.exists, also since you excel contains filenames you have to provide full filepath, if your script is not located in same folder as PDF files.

Django-appconf version 1.0.4 only supports Django 1.11 and up and Python 3.5 and up. (https://github.com/django-compressor/django-appconf/blob/v1.0.4/setup.py). You need to downgrade to at least version 1.0.2 (supports Python 2.6+, doesn't say which django version: https://github.com/django-compressor/django-appconf/blob/v1.0.2/setup.py)
