How does one save a file in the project folder as a pdf file type. Using pycharm, but all my pdfs are not recognised as a file type

Wow! All in one …. Thanks!

Hey, I am not able to extract tables because it is saying I have not installed java and set the PATH. I am not able to resolve this problem and also all of the soultions on internet I have tried and were no use to me. Can you please help me out or might make a video on it.
Nice Explaination BTW

Cool. I have some PDF files that are different in structure/format and I need to extract text from them without having header and footer text in it. How can we do that in Python? If anyone knows the way please help me with this.

Sir thank you, quick question, is the content (text) not saved in compressed form?

Please speak in English correctly like Indian people. I understand them excellent.

How would I extract the shape of a cave map in a pdf file and create a shapefile for it?

A great video thank you. You know your subject and I enjoy coding along, thank you.

this was super helpful. Had a directory of over 50 bank statements as .pdf files and needed to find which of these contained transactions at IKEA. this video guided me to at least grab the relevant file names to look at. cheers.

IRL the main challenges with pdf are lists, footer, equations etc

What if a portion of the contents of a table were symbols?

Great video. Wonder if you have a process to convert the PDF document into responsive HTML or epub so that one can read the PDF in a device of smaller size than the PDF document is intended for. I believe re can help connect broken lines into a paragraph (as much as we can), reformat tabel as table and put images in the original location within the PDF document.
