Day 162 : Convert PDF to docx using Python youtu.be/Ncr0_KU7iOM
@clcoding The reverse.. from DOCX to PDF file. Below is the snippet
@clcoding Samples that looks like: os.system("command_line_that_does_everything_and_return_results < input_file"); 🤪🤪🤪
@clcoding Great . Now I can do many things using python
To convert a PDF file to a DOCX file using Python, you can use the `PyPDF2` library to extract text from the PDF and then use the `python-docx` library to create a Word document. First, make sure you have both libraries installed by using `pip`: ```bash pip install PyPDF2 python-docx ``` Then, you can use the following Python code to perform the conversion: ```python import PyPDF2 from docx import Document def convert_pdf_to_docx(pdf_file, docx_file): # Open the PDF file with open(pdf_file, 'rb') as pdf: pdf_reader = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(pdf) # Create a new Word document doc = Document() # Extract text from the PDF and add it to the Word document for page_num in range(pdf_reader.numPages): page = pdf_reader.getPage(page_num) text = page.extractText() doc.add_paragraph(text) # Save the Word document doc.save(docx_file) # Replace 'input.pdf' with the path to your PDF file, and 'output.docx' with the desired output file name. convert_pdf_to_docx('input.pdf', 'output.docx') ``` This code will read the PDF file, extract the text from each page, and then create a new Word document using the `python-docx` library. The text extracted from the PDF will be added as paragraphs in the Word document, and the resulting DOCX file will be saved with the specified filename ('output.docx' in this example). Keep in mind that the text extraction might not be perfect for complex PDFs, especially if the PDF contains images or special formatting. In such cases, you may need to explore other libraries or tools for more accurate conversion.
@clcoding On line number 3, you can name the dox file anything ?
@clcoding is it possible to compress pdf 1gb size to small size by python?
@clcoding And if the PDF file is password-protected, will it work?
@clcoding Great, now I can do many things using phython
@clcoding Does this work on scanned images pdf too?
@clcoding Lovely done by pythons in less than 10 lines of code
