Thanks for the comments provided, the issue is because both output folder having the ext .pdf so the pdf2txt understand that I'm converting 2 pdf with the same name.

To fix it, I removed the ext .pdf from the first string which is to be used for the output directory name using strings.Split so my code became:

Stop webpack loading node modules using the webpack-node-externals module to get rid of Critical dependency: the request of a dependency is an expression

Then install the json-loader which causes the module parse failures:

QUESTION

How to fix a pyinstaller 'no module named...' error when my script imports the modules pikepdf and pdfminer3?

Asked 2019-Oct-18 at 11:30

I've built a working py script using PikePDF and PDFminer3 that will take a PDF off my desktop and create a txt file out of the words available.

The purpose of this is to help my team at work amend legal documents that often cannot be copy-pasted for amendments (and must therefore be typed out by hand). As most of my colleagues are averse to setting up anaconda and using python, I wanted to use pyinstaller to turn my script into an .exe.

When I run the application created by pyinstaller, I am able to complete a few preliminary inputs before I get this error:

QUESTION

Ending pdf to txt conversion if process exceeds a given time threshold

Asked 2019-Aug-13 at 05:23

I am trying to convert a corpus of .pdf documents into a corpus of .txt documents using the pdfminer pdf2txt package. The process works well on most documents, but some of the PDFs are taking an exceptionally long time to convert. Some never actually seem to finish converting, and the process gets stuck. I'm trying to figure out how stop the conversion if it exceeds more than a few minutes of processing time. I can create a timer function, but how do I get pdf2txt to skip a document that is taking too long and move on to the next document?

I've included the code for my for loop here without any timer function.

ANSWER

Answered 2019-Aug-13 at 05:23

subprocess.check_out has a timeout parameter. Documentation Code Example

To further improve your processing time, you can do asynchronous process calls instead of waiting for processing each file before processing the next. Code Example(Check Update2 in the question)

QUESTION

XML parsing error(invalid token) caused by PDF

Asked 2018-Nov-15 at 11:10

A colleague of mine filled-in dynamic PDF form, saved and sent it to me. However due to probably some weird symbol used it did not open, neither on colleague's or my PC. It was giving XML parsing error: not well-formed (invalid token) (error code 4). There was a lot of important info in that doc so I really need a way to recover it.

I tried many recommended things, such as:

Upgrading official Adobe Acrobat Reader to the latest version. Afterwards repairing it.
Opening with other software such as FOXIT reader, software for working with docs (Libre Office, notepad, Sublime, etc).
Opening with Adobe Acrobay Livecycle Design - software with wich this application form (I suppose) was created.
Using different PDF2text libraries (written in Python). As the form was dynamic this method was inefficient
Made a post on official Adobe Support Website (yeah, that's the only way to get help from Adobe using free versions of software)

However I came up with zero result.

The only thing that succeed a bit was opening PDF with default Windows notepad. It showed XML-formatted code, however most of the code was encoded (on gist small part of encoded code is seen in the end, but there is much more) Was something like that:

The current implementation of PDF reader in GemBox.Document is still in beta and cannot handle this PDF feature, an "iref streams" which are a cross-reference tables stored in streams.

However, GemBox.Pdf can handle cross-reference streams so as a workaround what you could do is something like the following:

QUESTION

Regex to extract digits before word while ignoring certain lines

Asked 2018-Jul-09 at 13:11

Using Python and pdf2text I'm trying to extract a postcode from a 4000 odd single page PDF files I have received to print and mail - unfortunately I do not have access to the original files so can't adjust when creating files.

My end goal here is to rename all the PDF files with the Postalcode_ExistingFilename.pdf so I can sort them for the postal network. I'll also need to combine PDF"s for the same customer into one file but that's another problem.

In the PDF we have the word "Dear" and the postal code is before that (albeit a few lines up):
