is for this func just don t know how it can handle pdfs file without breaking the structure
icy geyser
i think pdf has no structure
lucid gull
yeah that is the problem :/

They're usually unstructured, yes.
Are you able to confirm that the PDF itself is the issue and not your text processing? How was the PDF produced? What did you expect as a result and what do you get instead?
lucid gull
this is with docx
and with pdf it will just take the single line and not add it to each other
How was the PDF produced? just making one?
What did you expect as a result and what do you get instead?
hope the pictures explain the results

Oh, I meant, do you know what application made it?
lucid gull
no clue 😅
icy geyser
that is just a single line.
lucid gull
that is just a single line.
yeah but adds the other lines
like the pdf one is a single line of the paragraph itself
icy geyser
pypdf2 is deprecated. the new package is called pypdf.
lucid gull
okay thank you will keep that in mind will close the post for now and discuss it why my groupmembers ig thank you guys for the help 😊
icy geyser
i still don't know what your problem is. but maybe the new pypdf version works better.
you always say that lines get added. but i think that's what you're trying to do. maybe it would make sense to look at the output of pypdf before you make all these transformations. (what does page.extract_text() return)
rose grail
like the pdf one is a single line of the paragraph itself
I've tried it with a sample document and it seems to work with both pypdf and the older pypdf2 (you want pypdf though), so your text processing is probably fine. Yeah, I'd look into the lines themselves before you try to transform them.
