If you need to read a PDF (Portable Document Format) file in your Python code, then you can do the following:
Option 1 – Using PyPDF2
from PyPDF2 import PDFFileReader
temp = open('your_document.pdf', 'rb')
PDF_read = PDFFileReader(temp)
first_page = PDF_read.getPage(0)
print(first_page.extractText())
Option 2 – Using PDFplumber
import PDFplumber
with PDFplumber.open("your_document.PDF") as temp:
first_page = temp.pages[0]
print(first_page.extract_text())
Option 3 – Using textract
import textract
PDF_read = textract.process('document_path.PDF', method='PDFminer')
