Merge PDF to TEXT via Python
Merge PDF documents into single formats TEXT. Use Aspose.PDF for Python for .NET to modify files programmatically
Merge PDF to TEXT using Python
How to merge PDF to TEXT? With Aspose.PDF for Python via .NET library you can merge PDF to TEXT programmatically. PDF software from Aspose is ideal for individuals, small or large businesses. Since it is able to process a large amount of information, perform the concatenation quickly and efficiently and protect your data. A peculiar feature from Aspose.PDF is an API for merging PDF to TEXT. The trait of this approach is that you only need to open the NuGet package manager, search for ‘Aspose.PDF for .NET’, and install it without any special complex settings. (Use the command from the Package Manager Console for installing). Check the details of Installing the Library on the Documentation pages. To verify the benefits of the library, try using the conversion PDF to TEXT code snippet.
Console
pip install aspose-pdfHow to merge PDF to TEXT via Python
Python for .NET developers can easily load & merge PDF files to TEXT in just a few lines of code.
- Import necessary Python libraries for file handling, PDF document loading, and text device operations.
- Create a list of paths to input files by joining the data directory path with each input file name using
path.joinmethod. - Define the output file path by joining the output directory and the desired output filename.
- Use the
Document.merge_documentsmethod to combine all input PDF files (stored inpath_infiles) into one consolidated document. - Create an instance of
TextDevicewhich is likely used to process each page of the merged document into text format. - Start a counter at 1, which will be used to incrementally number the output files corresponding to each page.
- Iterate over each page in the merged document and process it using the text device.
- For each processed page, save it to a new text file with an incrementally numbered suffix based on the current count value. Replace the extension of the output filename (.txt) with the current count incremented by one.
- After processing the current page, increase the counter by 1 to ensure each subsequent page is numbered correctly in the output files.
Here is an example that demonstrates how to merge PDF to TEXT in Python. Combine multiple documents into a single file with ease. If you are developing code in Python, this task can be simpler than it sounds. You can use fully qualified filenames for both PDF reading and TEXT writing. Check out this Python example that show how to merge multiple documents of either the same or different file types into one file using Python
Merge PDF files using Python for .NET and save as TEXT
Example Python: this sample code shows PDF to TEXT concatenation
Input file:
File not added
File not added
Output format:
Output file:
import aspose.pdf as apdf
from os import path
path_infiles = [path.join(self.data_dir, infile) for infile in infiles]
path_outfile = path.join(self.data_dir, outfile)
document = apdf.Document.merge_documents(files=path_infiles)
device = apdf.devices.TextDevice()
count = 1
for page in document.pages:
device.process(page, path_outfile.replace(".txt", str(count) + ".txt"))
count += 1
