Pdf & images lab

A project to explore libraries to extract text from pdfs such as:

• pdfminer
• pyMuPDF
• pyPDF2
• ptpdfium2

Besides, I explore others to extract text from images such as

• pytesseract
• easyocr
• transformers models from huggingface

Step 1. Navigate to the root directory of the repository and create a new conda environment for development:

conda create -n <your_env_name> python=3.12 -y && conda activate <your_env_name>

Step 2. Install poetry

conda install -c conda-forge poetry

Step 3. Install ipywidgets

conda install -n <your_env_name> ipywidgets

Step 4. Install all the dependencies
