Code to extract text from pdf to excel
I love to use PDFMiner and PDFQuery for this https://github.com/pdfminer/pdfminer.six https://towardsdatascience.com/scrape-data-from-pdf-files-using-python-and-pdfquery-d033721c3b28

how do I automate extracting data from two pdfs and input into an excel sheet according to an order number
Entering things in Excel is very easy. Extracting things from PDF is a pain. This (https://github.com/pdfminer/pdfminer.six) gets pretty close to what you need, but it may be easier to use this to just convert the entire PDF to text and parse the text to extract the info you need.
- Can I make a code to compare a pdf file and an excel sheet by line by line tell the difference in amounts?

A better document viewer
If by "like a photocopy" you mean the file contains images of text rather than text, the MacOS viewer presumably does OCR on the images. I don't know if there's a Linux document viewer with that capability built-in, but a quick search turned up the standalone tool OCRmyPDF.

OCR pdf and just keep the OCR text
Fair enough, maybe this might work for you, it should seperate the text from image anyway and if you have Adobe acrobat it should be able delete the background too with the edit function. It may already be able to do that if you haven't tried it
