I am using this code:

from PyPDF2 import PdfFileReader



def text_extractor(path):

    with open(path, 'rb') as f:

        pdf = PdfFileReader(f)



        # get the first page

        page = pdf.getPage(0)

        print(page)

        print('Page type: {}'.format(str(type(page))))



        text = page.extractText()

        print(text)





if __name__ == '__main__':

    path = 'XEROX.pdf'

    text_extractor(path)

But this return me:

{'/Type': '/Page', '/MediaBox': [0, 0, 612, 792], '/Parent': IndirectObject(3, 0),

 '/Resources': {'/ProcSet': ['/PDF', '/ImageB', '/Text'],

 '/ExtGState': IndirectObject(47, 0), '/Font': IndirectObject(48, 0)},

 '/Contents': IndirectObject(5, 0)}

Page type: <class 'PyPDF2.pdf.PageObject'>

Where is the data?

I think that this pdf has binary symbols instead of ascii. How can I read this information in ascii or string type?

This is the result when I apply copy and paste in the PDF' information:

􀀀􀀀 􀀀



      􀀀  􀀀􀀀      

I found it:

I clone the textraxt repository from gibhub. I installed textract (with some problems but i achieved) and work very good. I will edit this answer for include my code.
