Splitt PDF at regex value

[standenman]

OK. I will try it.

What "gives you this stuff"?

Those are not error messages. Is your program printing something, or are this a message from PyPDF2? When are they printed? Are these output when you try to extract text from a page?

I would try something like this to diagnose.

import re
from PyPDF2 import PdfReader

date_regex = re.compile(r"Visit: (\d{2}/\d{2}/\d{4})")


def split_pdf_by_date(pdf_path):
    pdf = PdfReader(pdf_path)
    for pagenum, page in enumerate(pdf.pages, start=1):
        print("Page", pagenum)
        text = page.extract_text()
        print("Search")
        print(re.search(date_regex, text), "\n")


split_pdf_by_date("Test.pdf")
