Remember to:

Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

As you can see within the csv, I cannot get data from Owner's first name to Zip Code

📎 austerlitz_results.csv

#

Here is a snip of what the data looks like in pdf form.

#

and here is a snip of the csvs I have been creating. I have been unable to grab that data in the middle there.

What is the failed output?

crimson bough Jan 28, 2025, 2:50 AM

#

The screenshot above is the failed output. Owner's First Name - Zip Code should be filled in with data grabbed from the left side of the PDF, found under TAX MAP PARCEL NUMBER. other than that, everything else is fine.

#

Here is a better representation - I have manually inputted the data for some properties, but wanted to automate the Owner First Name - Zip Code column. I am not sure why the code will recognize everything else fine, but cannot grab those six columns.

#

#

Well the post will still be in archives so Il just DM you if I solve it

crimson bough Jan 28, 2025, 2:58 AM

#

Perfect, inputting this data manually has been a nightmare, but I am glad I have been able to automate every other column. Let me know if you want any of the PDFs.

#

I would be overjoyed if this was solved

#

crimson bough Jan 28, 2025, 3:10 AM

Could you send the actual .pdf file @crimson bough

crimson bough Jan 28, 2025, 3:18 AM

#

Yes, but it will have to be a DM - the file is too large to send here

compact pier Jan 28, 2025, 3:22 AM

#
