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 built in a modular way such that each component of pdfminer.six can be replaced easily. You can implement your own
|
|
|
|
|
interpreter or rendering device that uses the power of pdfminer.six for other purposes than text analysis.
