this was super helpful. Had a directory of over 50 bank statements as .pdf files and needed to find which of these contained transactions at IKEA. this video guided me to at least grab the relevant file names to look at. cheers.
That's fantastic! This is what I've always wanted to know to automate file handling even further, but I hadn't known how to ask the proper questions. I've got the answer now. Thanks, great video!
9:20 The only reason for using PIL is if you need to convert between image formats. Otherwise the raw data looks like it’s already in PNG format, that you can directly save to a file.
I'm interested in building the PDFs using python and seems a bit challenging. I was able to do it with basic content but I was trying to achieve a nice Release notes document for a corporate app.
Great video. Wonder if you have a process to convert the PDF document into responsive HTML or epub so that one can read the PDF in a device of smaller size than the PDF document is intended for. I believe re can help connect broken lines into a paragraph (as much as we can), reformat tabel as table and put images in the original location within the PDF document.
10:29 i keep getting AttributeError: module 'tabula' has no attribute 'read_pdf' on vs code ,i did install tabula before installing tabula-py (this was before i watched this video ),how do i resolve this issue
Realy useful video. How do I go about parsing data from company financial statements which are in pdf? Data like assets, liabilities, shareholders' funds, Profit Before Tax. These are in tables in the PDF.
How could one possibly extract the raw text from a PDF while not losing important metadata like the font size of the text, so as to distinguish headings from paragraphs, etc?
Seems like the text extractor also pulls the texts contained in the table...any way to bypass that? as in, i want to just extract the free text, and not the ones contained in the table
I understand python libraries like Camelot, pdfminer can be used to extract data from a pdf.. however, my pdfs are a (not so great) scan of paper documents. As a result, none of the open-source OCR solutions (paddle , ocrmypdf , Pytesseract , easyocr , keras_ocretc) seem to work on it. With all the hype around AI, is there any LLM AI tool that is worth trying?
As far as OCR tools, Abbyy Finereader (unfortunately it is not open-source) has worked the best for me to reconstruct scanned documents. It does have a batch convert option if you have many pdf's that need to be OCR'd. I haven't found any python OCR options that can match it's accuracy. It does have the option to use custom trained pattern recognition among many other abilities.
Would this work if working in a condoa enviroment? As I tried; tables = tabula.read_pdf("Name.pdf", pages = "all") print(tables) but it gave me JavaNotFoundError: `java` command is not found from this Python process.Please ensure Java is installed and PATH is set for `java`
Hey, I am not able to extract tables because it is saying I have not installed java and set the PATH. I am not able to resolve this problem and also all of the soultions on internet I have tried and were no use to me. Can you please help me out or might make a video on it. Nice Explaination BTW
Cool, thats really good. I just wanted to start on Py although I have coding skills, Py is new to me and wanted to explore. It would be great, if you can mention how to install Py and also the pre-requisites before we start on Py programming.
Do you have a video regarding the error that can occur when running tabula? Error: JVMNotFoundException: No JVM shared library file (jvm.dll) found. Try setting up the JAVA_HOME environment variable properly.
I struggled a bit today to find a solution first you need to have Java installed BEFORE you install tabula-py second you need JAVA_HOME variable to be set into the system variables with path to where it is located on your system (I hope you know how to do this, on windows go to terminal and type where java to find the right path) last install tabula-py hope it helps
this is really useful.but while doing llm work we have to work on indic languages for which we are using ocr based text extraction which is taking huge time.can you suggest or share anycode which could extract text hindi texts from pdfs? cause the ocr is taking a lot of time.and other pypdf pymupdf pdfminner they are simply useless in this case.kindly help if you have any solution.its urgent.
You need to use ocr if the text in the pdf is in the form of an image and not actual text, usually you can select actual text but not text in an image.
I found that by opening a pdf file with Mozilla Firefox and inspecting it with the developer tools you can collect its text (with the help of JavaScript) after the web browser has converted it to HTML and maybe save it for further processing with someone programming language.
Sorry bru, still no idea. I think when u attach it in the projects folder, it recognizes it in edition and file types. Look under already associated file types and u shud see .pdf. so I moved it as a wildcard to automatically recognise file types and overrid my file type as that
Cool. I have some PDF files that are different in structure/format and I need to extract text from them without having header and footer text in it. How can we do that in Python? If anyone knows the way please help me with this.
Thank you for the reply. I am trying to extract text from a pdf health questionnaire to a csv. This questionnaire has questions and options in various formats, even the headers that i need to include in the csv. If you have a tool you can recommend, i would be glad to hear it@@ShrikantKadam-q6s

Thats a typical Task ChatGPT helps to solve. I had exactly the same problem and it took me less then half an our to find the correct bank statement
How to use chat gpt in that way in order to solve our query?
That's fantastic! This is what I've always wanted to know to automate file handling even further, but I hadn't known how to ask the proper questions. I've got the answer now. Thanks, great video!
Wow. Very cool. Always been easy putting pdfs putting together. Taking them apart used to be a very different story. Thanks!

Does enyone get the error with tabula that:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tabula' ??
anyone getting a "cannot import name 'extract_pages' from pdfminer.high_level" error?
Yes same
What is the fix for this error?
Which Pycharm theme do you use?
does tabula require java runtime as a dependency?
Thank you so much for this great video! Very informative!
perfect, this is exactly what i needed. now i just have to brainstorm some pattern expressions for my bank statements.
Is there any way to identify which text element is a heading?
how did you import the pdf in the pycharm like that
Sir thank you, quick question, is the content (text) not saved in compressed form?
Great! Thank you!! Is it possible to open a file from Google Drive? How to pass the path?
Which extensions are you using?
A great video thank you. You know your subject and I enjoy coding along, thank you.
Great explanation. Thanks for putting the whole thing together.
Simply Superb
is the panel you are showing python IDLE or something else?

One idea i can think of is to preprocess the scanned image maybe, more contrast and upscale

@@rishavganguly1687 please see my comment above in reply to loisrogue1630
It's not said in the video but to use tabula you also have to install Java in your system and add the JAVA_HOME path variable
Smart dude. Your talented. Great job
Why is that it place a query like need jvm environment and to be done with java
