Extract Text from Image in PDF

This repository contains a Python script that facilitates text extraction from images embedded in a PDF file. The script utilizes libraries such as PyPDF2, PIL (Python Imaging Library), and Tesseract OCR for efficient image processing and text extraction.

Features

• Extracts text from image-based PDF documents.
• Utilizes PyPDF2 to read PDF files and identify images within them.
• Uses PIL to handle image data, converting it to a readable format for Tesseract OCR.
• Leverages Tesseract OCR to perform Optical Character Recognition on images.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Adinyk03/extract_text_from_img.git

2. Install the required Python libraries:

   pip install PyPDF2 pillow pytesseract

3. Ensure Tesseract OCR is installed on your system. You can download it from: Tesseract OCR

Usage

1. Place your PDF file containing images in the repository directory.

2. Modify the pdf_file_path variable in the Python script to match your PDF file's path.

3. Run the Python script:

   python extract_text_from_pdf.py

4. The script will process the PDF, extract images, perform OCR, and display the extracted text from each image.
