Python可以從中提取文字後讀取PDF檔案並列印出內容。 為此，必須首先安裝所需的模組PyPDF2，以下是安裝模組的命令。應該已經在python環境中安裝了pip。
pip install pypdf2
成功安裝此模組後，可以使用模組中提供的方法讀取PDF檔案。
import PyPDF2
pdfName = 'path\Yiibaipoint.pdf'
read_pdf = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(pdfName)
page = read_pdf.getPage(0)
page_content = page.extractText()
print page_content
當執行上面的程式時，我們得到以下輸出 -
Yiibai Point originated from the idea that there exists a class of readers who respond better
to online content and prefer to learn new skills at their own pace from the comforts of their
drawing rooms.
The journey commenced with a single tutorial on HTML in 2006 and elated by the response
it generated, we worked our way to adding fresh tutorials to our repository which now
proudly flaunts a wealth of tutorials and allied articles on topics ranging from programming
languages to web designing to academics and much more.
讀取多個頁面
要閱讀包含多個頁面的pdf並使用頁碼列印每個頁面，使用帶有getPageNumber()函式的迴圈。 在下面的例子中有兩個頁面的PDF檔案。內容在兩個單獨的頁面標題下列印。
import PyPDF2
pdfName = 'Path\Yiibaispoint2.pdf'
read_pdf = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(pdfName)
for i in xrange(read_pdf.getNumPages()):
page = read_pdf.getPage(i)
print 'Page No - ' + str(1+read_pdf.getPageNumber(page))
page_content = page.extractText()
print page_content
執行上面範例程式碼，得到以下結果 -
Page No - 1

rooms.
