 1 | # PDF to Text with Python
 2 | 
 3 | ## Introduction
 4 | 
 5 | This program will:
 6 | 
 7 | 1. Split your PDF into pages,
 8 | 2. Extract the text from each pages, and
 9 | 3. Save them in `.txt` file.
10 | 
11 | ## Required
12 | - [PDFtk](https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/) ([Why using this?](#whyme))
13 | - [PyPDF2](https://github.com/mstamy2/PyPDF2)
14 | 
15 | ## Run
16 | ```
17 | $ python main.py <your-pdf-file>
18 | ```
19 | 
20 | ## <a name="whyme"></a> Why Using PDFtk?
21 | 
22 | Because PyPDF2's extract function doesn't works on some files.
