Description

Extracts and analyzes text, layout, and metadata from PDF files through Python tooling. It is useful for document processing, indexing, search pipelines, accessibility checks, and scripts that need structured information from PDFs.

PDF parsing may process untrusted files, so automated workflows should handle failures and avoid exposing extracted private document contents. Some packages also expose command-line helpers, but it is commonly installed as a library dependency.

How to run

pdf2txt.py
