Extract Text from PDF with Python

In this video we learn how to extract text from a PDF file with Python using PyPDF2. We also learn how to convert PDF to a text file. We start off with a simple example of extracting text from a single page. We then extract the text from all the pages in the pdf. After this we use an example of getting text from pages that meet a certain condition (i.e., containing the word Waldo). With this example we learn how to extract text from multiple PDF pages that we specified. Next we write those extracted PDF Pages to a new PDF document. Finally we extract only the sentences that contain Waldo and the pages that those sentences were located on.

This is based on a real project I did for work where I had to extract pertinent information about specific people from thousands of PDFs that contained many pages each.
