Searching and extract text from PDF

1 New Member
I'm a researcher, as well as a starter in python, i need to find key words, say earnings, sales, expenditure etc. in PDF documents, and extract relevant paragraphs around those key words out of the whole document.
I have tried pyPDF and PDFtools, but none of them work.
Can anybody give me a module or example?
Thanks a lot.

I would recommend Text Mining Tool.

Its features:

- No payment or license restrictions. Tool is absolutely free.
- Works as converter of PDF, DOC, RTF, CHM, HTML files to text.
- User-friendly interface with hotkeys available.
- Console tool minetext for automation of text converting is included.
- .NET 2.0 framework based.
- No installation is need. Just unpack the program and use.

Let's say you had a string that looked like this: How would you extract everything between the 2nd and 3rd |?

I am trying to extract capitalized words from text in Excel. I have a list of a combination of brands and products and I am trying to extract out the product attribute from the text. Since the text varies in length, I cannot use standard text parsing excel functions to extract the product from the text. I could use text to columns but that gets labor intensive. Is there a way to extract out the capitalized words from text in Excel? How do I...

Hi all Does anybody please know a way to extract an Image from a pdf file and save it as a TIFF? I have used a scanner to scan documents which are then placed on a server, but I need to extract the image of the document (just the first page if there are multiple pages) and save it as a TIFF so I can then use the Tesseract OCR to get the text in the image.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
