PDF Scraping

Final product of the project.

Getting Started

1. Download the sample file.
2. Run all commands from Commands_to_run.txt
3. Import all the PDFs in Documents folder inside Sample folder
4. Run main.py
5. All informations will be appended in Book-v2.csv

Logic

This script use poppler-utils to convert a PDF into an image and then uses tesseract-ocr and arabic tesdata to extract the text. We run the ocr 2 times as the arabic ocr can't accurately extract numeric values. Finally we use python`s csv library to append the csv and also write name of extracted pdfs into a text file for future reference to reduce redundancy.

sudo apt install tesseract-ocr sudo apt install tesseract-ocr-ara sudo apt install poppler-utils
