【记录】尝试使用pyPdf将不可复制的PDF转换为文本或HTML

【背景】

折腾：

【未解决】将不可拷贝复制的PDF中的表格数据导出并转换为xml格式数据

期间，去试试使用pyPdf去把一个不可复制的PDF文件，转换为文本或HTML。

【折腾过程】

1.参考：

Convert PDF to text with pyPDF and PDFMiner: First Impression | victorwyee

去找到：

pyPdf

并下载：

pyPdf-1.13.win32.exe

2.但是安装时找不到Python：

看来是：

我此处安装的x64的python，此处无法识别啊。。。

3.重新下载：

pyPdf-1.13.zip

然后去解压安装：

然后去试试。

4.然后再去解决上述问题：

没找到解决办法。

说是，其代码对于其他pdf正常，所以无视此bug。。。

【总结】

目前也是无法通过pyPdf将上述不可拷贝的pdf转换为想要的文本或html。
