DocDump

A package to extract text from common document types

DocDump aims to allow for raw text data and document metadata to be easily extracted from a range of commonly used document types, such as Word, PDF, PowerPoint, Excel, txt. DocDump acts as a wrapper for a number of existing packages: PyPDF2, openpyxl, python-docx, python-pptx.

DocDump extracts all text as a single string, and does not preserve text structure. This makes it a useful tool in a natural language processing or search pipeline.

DocDump does not perform any preprocessing or normalisation of the extracted text.

Getting Started

DocDump requires Python 3.7+

Installation

pip install docdump

Usage

from docdump import doc_reader

document = doc_reader("sampleFile.docx")

text_dump = document.text
metadata = document.metadata
filetype = document.filetype
absolute_path = document.path
