I would like to run a script on a folder full of word documents that reads through the documents and pulls out images and their captions (text right below the images). From the research I've done, I think pywin32 might be a viable solution. I know how to use pywin32 to find strings and pull them out, but I need help with the images part. How can I read through a docx file and have an event occur when an image is found? Thank you for any help! I am using Python 2.7.
Docx files can be unzipped for extracting the images.
Find some inspiration in this post How can I search a word in a Word 2007 .docx file?
You can use the python module docx2txt for extracting text as well as images from docx files
document =docx.Document(filepath)
for image in document.inline_shapes:
print (image.width, image.height)
Try this it will work.

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.

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

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

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.
Just trying to extract the text from a PDF in Python, using the Slate Library and PyPDF2. Unfortunately some PDFs are being output with multiple words merged/concatenated together. This seems to happen intermittently, for example for some PDFs words are extracted with the spaces between them correctly, whereas others are not.
One example of a PDF where words are not extracted correctly is included and available for download (SO wouldn't let me upload it) here. The output from
slate.PDF(open(name, 'rb') ).text()
is (or at least a segment is):

where of course the first comma-separated token should be not on adhoc procedures
Does anybody know why this is happening, or have a better idea of a library to use for PDF text extraction?
Thanks for the help!
How can I extract the tables, text and the pictures in an ODT(OpenDocumentText) file to output them to another ODT file using Python on Ubuntu?
OOoPy seems to be a good fit. I've never used it, but it comes with documentation and code examples, and it can read and write ODT files.
An easy way is to just rename the foo.odt to foo.zip and then extract it. the extracted directory contains many files including Pictures.
However I think it's better to change it's type to docx and then do the process on docx (extract it). Because it extract images with better name (image1, image2, ...).
