PDF Text Extraction and Visualization 📄🔍

This repository contains four Python scripts designed to automate the extraction and visualization of text from PDF documents. Each script serves a different purpose for extracting text from either the entire document or specific sections, with the ability to visualize certain areas.

Features 🌟

• whole_extract.py: Extracts text from the entire PDF document.
• section_extract.py: Extracts text from a specific section of the PDF using a predefined bounding box.
• section_extract_below.py: Extracts text from a specific section and also captures the line immediately below the matched keyword.
• draw_bounding_box.py: Visualizes and draws a bounding box around a specific section of the PDF for area-based extraction.

Files 📂

1. whole_extract.py:

   • Extracts text from the entire PDF.
   • Useful for extracting full content without focusing on any particular area.

2. section_extract.py:

   • Extracts text from a specific area of the PDF using a defined bounding box.
   • Ideal for extracting content from predefined sections like tables or forms.

3. section_extract_below.py:

   • Similar to section_extract.py, but also extracts the line immediately below a keyword match.
   • Useful when you need the context or additional details related to the keyword.

4. draw_bounding_box.py:

   • Draws a bounding box around a specified area in the PDF.
   • Helps in visualizing the area of interest before extracting text.
