PDF Context Extractor

Extracts text content from PDF files using pypdf 5.x (PdfReader API).

Usage

import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/app/environment/skills/evo-pdf-context-extractor/scripts')
from utils import extract_pdf_text, get_all_pages_text

# Get all text from a PDF
text = extract_pdf_text('/path/to/file.pdf')

# Get text as list of pages
pages = get_all_pages_text('/path/to/file.pdf')

Key Functions

  • extract_pdf_text(filepath) - Returns all text from PDF as single string
  • get_all_pages_text(filepath) - Returns list of strings, one per page

Technical Notes

  • Uses from pypdf import PdfReader (NOT PyPDF2)
  • Uses page.extract_text() method
  • Handles malformed PDFs gracefully
