  • pdfplumber

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

    • pdfplumber ... I don't personally do a lot of image processing with pdfs but I have a few scripts set up to auto extract sections of research articles for translation purposes. In my case, it works a charm. The documentation is a bit hard to follow sometimes but the GitHub page has some good examples.
