Extract Text with its Font Details (Style,Size,color,Italic etc) from a PDF in Python

Question

I am looking to Extract Text with its Font Details (Style,Size,color,Italic etc) from a PDF in Python.

I need to extract text and its metadata for translation purpose.Can anyone suggest any libraries for the same.

Is it possible to do that without using a library? – devssh Sep 25 '18 at 10:05 — devssh, Sep 25 '18 at 10:05

There is a python library for that. Please have a look at PDFMiner.

pdftext.py gives you the text extracted out of pdf and it also gives you other information like font and font size etc.

You can try that.

Note: Python 3 is not supported

`Python 3` is supported under `PDFMiner.six`. – craned Oct 19 '17 at 18:56

Currently PDFMiner does not allow to extract information about font color – Vito Gentile Feb 25 '21 at 14:14
