#install PyPDF2
pip install PyPDF2

#importing all the required modules
import PyPDF2

#creating a pdf reader object
reader = PyPDF2.PdfReader('example.pdf')

#print the number of pages in pdf file
print(len(reader.pages))

#print the text of the first page
print(reader.pages[0].extract_text())


import re
>> line = "should we use regex more often? let me know at [email protected]"
>> match = re.search(r'[\w.+-]+@[\w-]+\.[\w.-]+', line)
>> match.group(0)
'[email protected]'

>> match = re.findall(r'[\w.+-]+@[\w-]+\.[\w.-]+', line)
>> match
['[email protected]', '[email protected]']

Just clean that up

I think you supposed to say "easy" "simple" and "just" every other word.

I depends on the pdf reader. Search the help file. Usually there is a way to put it into "text selection mode" of some sort, then you can Ctrl+C like normal.
