Python: AttributeError: 'PageObject' object has no attribute 'extract_images' - Melcu54 - Jun-18-2023
hello, I try to convert with OCR some pdf that contains images. I got this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "E:\Carte\BB\17 - Site Leadership\alte\Ionel Balauta\Aryeht\Task 1 - Traduce tot site-ul\Doar Google Web\Andreea\Meditatii\2023\OCR.py", line 31, in <module>
image = page.extract_images()[0]["obj"]
AttributeError: 'PageObject' object has no attribute 'extract_images'this is the code:import os
import PyPDF2
import pytesseract
from PIL import Image
from pdf2image import convert_from_path
# Path to the folder containing PDF files
input_folder = "d:/doc/doc"
# Path to the folder where text files will be saved
output_folder = "d:/doc/doc"
# Path to the Tesseract OCR executable (change if necessary)
pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r"C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR\tesseract.exe"
# Get a list of all PDF files in the input folder
files = [f for f in os.listdir(input_folder) if f.endswith(".pdf")]
# Loop through each PDF file and convert it to text using OCR
for file in files:
pdf_path = os.path.join(input_folder, file)
txt_path = os.path.join(output_folder, os.path.splitext(file)[0] + ".txt")
# Extract images from PDF and perform OCR on each image
images = []
with open(pdf_path, "rb") as file:
pdf_reader = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(file)
for page_num in range(pdf_reader.numPages):
page = pdf_reader.getPage(page_num)
image = page.extract_images()[0]["obj"]
images.append(Image.frombytes("RGB", image.size, image.data))
# Perform OCR on images and extract text
text = ""
for image in images:
text += pytesseract.image_to_string(image)
# Save the extracted text to a text file
with open(txt_path, "w", encoding="utf-8") as txt_file:
txt_file.write(text)
print("Conversion complete!")can someone fix my code so it works?
RE: Python: AttributeError: 'PageObject' object has no attribute 'extract_images' - deanhystad - Jun-18-2023
When you have problems, read the documentation.
https://pypdf2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/modules/PageObject.html
PageObject does not have an extract_images() method. It has a images property that will return a list of images for the page. This was a change made in September 2022. If you are using pypdf2 2.12.0 or newer, use the images property instead of the extract_images() method.
