📄 PDF Text Processor

This Python script processes a PDF file by extracting its text content, performing some text modifications, and saving the result to a text file.

🛠️ Requirements

• Python 3.x
• pdfplumber library (pip install pdfplumber)

🚀 Usage

1. Set the path_to_pdf variable to the path of your input PDF file.
2. Set the original_txt variable to the desired output text file name.
3. (Optional) Add strings to the strings_to_delete list if you want to remove specific content from the text.
4. Run the script.

🔍 How it works

1. 📂 The script opens the specified PDF file using pdfplumber.
2. 📝 It extracts text from each page of the PDF and writes it to the original_txt file.
3. 🔄 The script then reads the original_txt file, processes each line by:
   • 🗑️ Removing specified strings (if any)
   • ➕ Adding two newline characters before lines starting with "Frage"
4. 💾 The processed text is written to a temporary file (temp.txt).
5. 🔁 Finally, the temporary file replaces the original text file.

Happy PDF processing! 📚✨
