  • pdfminer.six

    Community maintained fork of pdfminer - we fathom PDF

    • 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

  • pdfplumber

    Plumb a PDF for detailed information about each char, rectangle, line, et cetera — and easily extract text and tables.

    • I've been working with pdfplumber, which is built atop pdfminer.six. It allows one to break the page up into sections and extract text from them in turn, which may help keep columns separated better.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
