Extract tables and text from a PDF document into a structured format using pdfplumber for precise data extraction and pypdf for accessing text and metadata.

Does this PDF processing approach work with scanned documents?▼

PDF processing works with scanned documents by utilizing pdf2image to convert pages into images and pytesseract to apply OCR for extracting text from non-selectable content.

What is the best way to identify and fill interactive form fields in a PDF?▼

The best way to identify and fill interactive form fields in a PDF is using pypdf to detect existing fields and programmatically populate them with provided data inputs.
