I'm parsing docx files using the library python-docx. I need to read the header of documents as well as paragraphs however I can't find anything about document headers in their documentation. There is documentation on writing a header to a new file but none on reading a header. Is there a way to do this?
I had the same problem.
I used instead of the "python-docx" package a newer version called python-docx2txt
(https://github.com/ankushshah89/python-docx2txt) which extract the text with the headers in one line.

I need help in a PYTHON script to read PDF file and copy every word on it and put them in a new .txt file (every word must take 1 line) ; and then deleted the repeated words and count them after that and print the count in the last line
Install these libraries.
PyPDF2 (To convert simple, text-based PDF files into text readable by Python)
textract (To convert non-trivial, scanned PDF files into text readable by Python)
nltk (To clean and convert phrases into keywords)
Each of these libraries can be installed with the following commands in side terminal(on macOS):
pip install Libraryname
See this Tutorial https://medium.com/#rqaiserr/how-to-convert-pdfs-into-searchable-key-words-with-python-85aab86c544f
Use texttrack it support many types of files also PDF. So texttrack better.

Did you search the Stackoverflow for answers?
Here you can find some pretty good answers about how to extract text from a pdf file (Look at Jakobovski answer):

I am writing a doc and docx parser. It is necessary to obtain various metadata about the document of these formats. For example, for docx, I need to get the XML code and continue to work with the tags. Tell me the solutions that will help solve my problem? Solutions like python-docx are not suitable, because they work only with text.
If you need raw docx data, you'll probably work with it low-level, i.e. open file with zipfile and read meta with xml etree
I am trying to extract information from different types of files in python(.pdf .doc .docx) and convert to .txt but while processing different files I am getting space and newlines when not required and many other issues. I have tried PyPDF2 and PDF manager.Please suggest me something with which i can extract information from files.
EDIT
Currently looking for something which can help me extract exact text from .pdf files. I have tried PyPDF, PDFMiner and PDF Manager and I am getting issues with some pdfs in all of them.
Personally I think pdfminer is the best python module for extracting information from pdfs Get it here
I think you can refer to this link
for corresponding file formats.
I have been given a series of folders with large amounts of Word documents in .xml formatting. They each contain some VBA code, but the code on all of them has already been run, so I don't need to keep this.
I need to print all of the files in each folder, but due to constraints on XML files on the network, I can't simply mass-print them from Windows Explorer, so I need to convert them to .docx (or .doc) first.
How can I go about doing this? I tried a simple python script using python-docx:
import os
from docx import Document
folderPath=<folderpath>
fileNamesList=os.listdir(folderPath)
for xmlFileName in fileNamesList:
currentDoc=Document(os.path.join(folderPath,xmlFileName))
docxFileName=xmlFileName.replace('.xml','.docx')
currentDoc.save(os.path.join(folderPath,docxFileName))
currentDoc.close()
This gives:
docx.opc.exceptions.PackageNotFoundError: Package not found at <first file name>.xml
I'm guessing this is because python-docx isn't meant to open .xml files, but that's a pretty uneducated guess. Searching around for this error, all I can find are problems with it not being installed properly (which it is, as far as I can tell) or using .doc files instead of .docx.
Am I simply using python-docx incorrectly? If not, is there are more suitable package or technique I should be using?
It's not clear just what sort of files those .xml files are, but I suspect they are a transitional format used I think in Word 2003, which was XML-based, but not the Open Packaging Convention (OPC) format used in Word documents since Word 2007.
python-docx is not going to read those, now or ever, so you'll either need to convert them to .docx format or parse the XML directly.
If I had Windows available, I suppose I would use VBA to write a short conversion script and then work with the .docx files using python-pptx. I would start by seeing if Word could load the .xml file and go from there.
You might be able to find a utility to do a bulk conversion, but I didn't find any on a quick search.
If all you're interested in is a one-time print, and Word will load the files, then a VBA script for that without the conversion step might be a good option. python-docx doesn't print .docx files, only read and write them.
I checked mose question and answers in stackoverflow and others there is many way to open and read the .docx file not doc by using python
I already checked python-docx library but it only support to docx.
I wanna to open and extract text from .doc file(not docx). Plase help me Because I'm new in python
You can use Tika Python, it's an Apache Tika bindings for python. Another good library is a textract.
I created library to extract text from doc files. It works for C and Python
https://github.com/uvoteam/libdoc
usage example:
import extract_doc
with open('./test.doc', 'rb') as myfile:
data = bytearray(myfile.read())
print(extract_doc.extract_doc_text(data, len(data)))
