I'm working with the code to summarize the text using BERT. I am stopped at the step "loading all pages of the pdf file to the program". My code below just loads only one page. Please help for the instruction. I am a new coder.

f= open('/content/Example.pdf', 'rb') pdf = PdfFileReader(f) page = pdf.getPage(6) text = page.extractText()

You should tell what library you use,bye the look it's PyPDF2
It's a common task to do, so if you search you will find different solution.
If i do a quick test this works.

import PyPDF2 file_pdf = 'sample.pdf' with open(file_pdf, mode='rb') as f: reader = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(f) for page in range(reader.numPages): p = reader.getPage(page) print(p.extract_text())

Yes. I use Pypdf2.
I will try with your recommend code. Thanks.

It is successful now. But the output looks not the best. Could you review and give me your advice?

Output:
Streaming output truncated to the last 5000 lines. o i n t t ..... ect

Don't post the whole oput if it 100's of lines long.
I have shorting it out.
Are you using my code with with one pdf file?
Here is the file sample.pdf i test with.

I used that code but with another file. Your file is OK.
See the attached file.

  test.pdf (Size: 272.01 KB / Downloads: 207)

Could you help with the answer?

I'm pretty sure this code is based on something snippsat wrote some time ago, too clever for me.

PyPDf2 is good, but can't get some text for reasons I don't know or understand

# importing required modules import pdfplumber path2pdf = '/home/pedro/pdfExtractedPages/The_Knights_Tale_Modern_English.pdf' path2text = '/home/pedro/temp/The_Knights_Tale_Middle_English.txt' """ >>> test = enumerate(pages, 1) # 1 starts counting at 1, set 0 to count from zero >>> test <enumerate object at 0x7f586adb5880> >>> for t in test:	print(t) (1, <Page:1>) (2, <Page:2>) (3, <Page:3>) """ text_pages = [] with pdfplumber.open(pdf_file) as pdf: pages = pdf.pages for pg in range(len(pages)): text = pdf.pages[pg].extract_text() text_pages.append(text) print('text_pages is now', len(text_pages), 'long. Now joining tthe list to a string ... ') textstring = ''.join(text_pages) with open(path2text, 'w') as tf: tf.write(textstring)

Gets the bits other modules can't reach! Worked for me, thank you snippsat!

You can try using https://pypi.org/project/camelot-py/

Thanks for supporting the code. The result is better now.
