Basic PDF Scraping Tool
#1
Hi All,

I am a beginner and I really want to code a basic PDF scraper and export to Excel.

Any advice on where to start and which packages I need to install to begin my journey will greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Noor

You can start looking here: https://pypi.org/search/?q=PDF
popular are pdfminer6 and camelot (plus many others)

I also left you a link on the welcome page for PDF Reference, Sixth Edition, version 1.7
