pypdf

My stuff: python 2.6 64 bit (with pyPdf-1.13.win32.exe installed). Wing IDE. Windows 7 64 bit. I got the following error: NotImplementedError: unsupported filter /LZWDecode When I ran the following code: from pyPdf import PdfFileWriter, PdfFileReader import sys, os, pyPdf, re path = 'C:\\Users\\Homer\\Documents\\' # This is where I put my pdfs filelist = os.listdir(path) has_text_list = [] does_not_have_text_list = [] for pdf_name in filelist: pdf_file_with_directory = os.path.join(path, pdf_name) pdf = pyPdf.PdfFileReader(open(pdf_file_with_directory, 'rb')) for i in range(0, pdf.getNumPages(

I'm having trouble merging two PDF files with pyPdf. When I run the following code the the watermark (page1) looks fine, but the page2 has been rotated 90 degrees clockwise. Any ideas what's going on? from pyPdf import PdfFileWriter, PdfFileReader # PDF1: A4 Landscape page created in photoshop using PdfCreator, input1 = PdfFileReader(file("base.pdf", "rb")) page1 = input1.getPage(0) # PDF2: A4 Landscape page, text only, created using Pisa (www.xhtml2pdf.com) input2 = PdfFileReader(file("text.pdf", "rb")) page2 = input2.getPage(0) # Merge page1.mergePage(page2) # Output output = PdfFileWriter()

currently, if I make a page object of a pdf page with pyPdf, and extractText(), what happens is that lines are concatenated together. For example, if line 1 of the page says "hello" and line 2 says "world" the resulting text returned from extractText() is "helloworld" instead of "hello world." Does anyone know how to fix this, or have suggestions for a work around? I really need the text to have spaces in between the lines because i'm doing text mining on this pdf text and not having spaces in between lines kills it.... This is a common problem with pdf parsing. You can also expect trailing

I am trying to read a pdf through url. I followed many stackoverflow suggestions and used PyPdf2 FileReader to extract text from the pdf. My code looks like this : url = "http://kat.kar.nic.in:8080/uploadedFiles/C_13052015_ch1_l1.pdf" #url = "http://kat.kar.nic.in:8080/uploadedFiles/C_06052015_ch1_l1.pdf" f = urlopen(Request(url)).read() fileInput = StringIO(f) pdf = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(fileInput) print pdf.getNumPages() print pdf.getDocumentInfo() print pdf.getPage(1).extractText() I am able to successfully extract text for first link. But if I use the same program for the second pdf. I do

I'm attempting to combine a few PDF files into a single PDF file using Python. I've tried both PyPDF and PyPDF2 - on some files, they both throw this same error: PdfReadError: EOF marker not found Here's my code (page_files) is a list of PDF file paths to combine: # use pypdf to combine pdf pages output = PdfFileWriter() for pf in page_files: filestream = file(pf, "rb") pdf = PdfFileReader(filestream) for num in range(pdf.getNumPages()): output.addPage(pdf.getPage(num)) # write final file outputStream = file(pdf_full_path, "wb") output.write(outputStream) outputStream.close() I've read a few

I'm working on custom search engine for my PDF data corpus. I have a transformation layer which is able to dump PDF content to text (using Apache Tika and GROBID). I have finished search layers and the view which return search results listing. Now, I'd like to add highlighting feature on original PDF for the lines, where search terms was appeared. Yes, I wanna modifiy PDF files if it is necessary. Is there any way for highlight text inside in PDF file? Are PDFMiner or PyPDF2 or other Python library is able to do that? ... or can you recommand other, maybe external service for it? spacevillain
