What is the difference between jupyter notebook and Pycharm? In Jupyter, where we use Pandas to open a PDF/CSV/TXT files. Which is efficient to learn and apply in real time?

sir i am having attribution error at line 3: reader=PyPDF2.pdfFileReader(file) AttributeError: module 'PyPDF2' has no attribute 'pdfFileReader'

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Sidstar seems you have not installed lib properly. please try installing again and if you are working in Pycharm then do add in Pycharm too.

[@Kmysiak1]

its PdfFileReader() not pdfFileReader()

[@KkdvPrasad]

Mukesh can we have an similar logic in Eclipse using Java?

[@en_coded]

can you do a simple write? I haven't seen a write 'hello world' its always read this pdf and write it on another pdf. what if I just want to start a pdf with strings and images...??

[@LeZinZin95]

It worked, thank you

[@Mukeshotwani]

You're welcome!

[@subhransupanda7052]

This will work for a simple PDF file but for a complex PDF where we have tables ,multiple pages,images,non English character ,there it would not work...could u plz show us reading a complex PDF file..

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Subhranshu current approach will fetch the data from tables as well. Multiple pages already covered in video. When it comes to image you can open pdf in rb (read binary) mode which will return binary data. For non english char you can change the enconding. I will try to make video on this.

[@subhransupanda7052]

@@Mukeshotwani Thanks a lot Mukesh..plz make a video on dis..u r a great inspiration for us..we are waiting for dat video ..

How we can compare two pdfs where contents on both pdfs are same but they positioned in different locations of pdfs. We can’t compare line by line.

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Ankur, above video is when you need to validate specific String or keyword in pdf. When it comes to comparing two pdfs then we have many lib in python which can help you. Please explore the same. One of the lib is pypi.org/project/diff-pdf-visually/

[@kamal3777]

İ try to extract the text but it just gives an empty string

[@Mukeshotwani]

Please debug your code. I have dedicated video on How to debug your code.

May I know where you are writing the code

what to do for extracting all pages of pdf. I have been searching for this solution for last 24 hours

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Ayush, you can run a loop which will iterate all the pages one by one.
