archminer

---

archminer is a command-line tool that extracts text from a specific PDF, referred to as 'Marginados'. The text in the Marginados PDF was created through OCR, as the PDF is a scan. This tool tries to extract the text in reading order.

The tool makes assumptions specific to the Marginados PDF:

• only certain pages are relevant
• the text is layed out in two columns
• each (relevant) page has a header line and a page number in the footer line

Installation

pip install archminer

Usage

As mentioned above, this tool has expectations about the input PDF.

It is expected that you use it like this:

archminer --from-page 6 --to-page 590 Marginados_all.pdf top-bottom remove-top-bottom

This reads pages 6 through 590 from the PDF, determines the coordinates of the top (header) and bottom (footer) lines, then removes those lines and writes the text contents of the pages in reading order to Marginados_all.txt (because we did not specify an output file).

See archminer --help for the full usage.
