python提取pdf文字,在Python中从PDF提取文本

I have a PDF full of quotes:

I can extract the text in python using the following code:

import PyPDF2

pdfFileObj = open('example.pdf','rb')

pdfReader = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(pdfFileObj)

pageObj = pdfReader.getPage(0)

print (pageObj.extractText())

This returns all the quotes as one paragraph. Is it possible to 'split' the pdf by the horizontal separator and split it into quotes that way?

If you want to just extract the quotes from the pdf text you can use regex to find all the quotes.

import PyPDF2

import re

pdfFileObj = open('test.pdf','rb')

pdfReader = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(pdfFileObj)

pageObj = pdfReader.getPage(0)

text = str(pageObj.extractText())

quotes = re.findall(r'"[^"]*"',text)

for quote in quotes:

print quote

print

or just

quotes = re.findall(r'"[^"]*"',text)

print quotes
