How do I delete line break in PDF text extraction in Python?

Question

I used PyMuPDF to get the text in the PDF, here is my code

import fitz

pdf_document = "KRIP.pdf"
doc = fitz.open(pdf_document)

page1 = doc.loadPage(0)
page1text = page1.get_text()
print("Text from PDF: ", page1text)

the output should be

KRIPTOGRAFI

but it turns out

KRIPTOGRAFI

there is a line break after the word "KRIPTOGRAFI". Is there any way to remove it?

You need to remove the blanks at the end. The function strip() does that for you.

Your new code would be:

import fitz

pdf_document = "KRIP.pdf"
doc = fitz.open(pdf_document)

page1 = doc.loadPage(0)
page1text = page1.get_text().strip()
print("Text from PDF: ", page1text)
