Pdfminer.six is a community maintained fork of the original PDFMiner. It is a
|
|
|
|
tool for extracting information from PDF documents. It focuses on getting
|
|
|
|
and analyzing text data. Pdfminer.six extracts the text from a page directly
|
|
|
|
from the sourcecode of the PDF. It can also be used to get the exact location,
|
|
|
|
font or color of the text.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is build in a modular way such that each component of pdfminer.six can be
|

replaced easily. You can implement your own interpreter or rendering device
|

|
|
|
to use the power of pdfminer.six for other purposes that text analysis.
