python-pdf2txt
is a Dockerized Python application that converts PDF files to editable Word documents. It uses Flask to create a web service that accepts PDF uploads via HTTP requests and returns the converted DOCX files, leveraging OCR technology for text extraction.
Features
- PDF to Word Conversion: Efficiently converts PDF documents into Word format using OCR.
- Dockerized Application: Easy deployment and consistency across different environments.
- REST API Interface: Simple and accessible REST API for uploading PDFs and receiving Word documents.
Getting Started
Step 1: Clone the Repository
Start by cloning this repository to your local machine:
git clone https://github.com/your-username/python-pdf2txt.git
cd python-pdf2txt
Step 2: Build and Run the Docker Container
Build and deploy the application using Docker Compose:
docker-compose up --build -d
This command will build the Docker image and run the container in detached mode, making the application accessible on localhost:4000. Step 3: Convert a PDF to Word
To convert a PDF file to a Word document, execute the following curl command:
curl -X POST -F "file=@path_to_your_pdf_file.pdf" http://localhost:4000/upload-pdf --output converted.docx
Ensure you replace path_to_your_pdf_file.pdf with the actual path to the PDF file you wish to convert. The resulting Word document will be saved as converted.docx.
Step 4: View Application Logs
Monitor the application's operations in real-time by viewing the logs:
tail -f ./logs/*
This command will display ongoing log outputs, providing insights into the application's processing activities.
