# PDF2Text

I've converted 8gb of PDF's to text in one afternoon on a decade old x270 using this script. Performant enough imho. Try to get 8Gb in your LLM and getting it to actually use it. That's the challenge.

## Convert all PDF's to text
This is an script for converting a batch of PDF's to text for machine learning.
It only has two dependencies:
 - python3
 - pdf.miner (python requirement, specified in requirements.txt file) 

## Installation
```bash
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

## Usage:
Activate your virtual environment.
```bash
source .venv/bin/activate
./pdf2text [source/destination dir]
```
You read that correctly, the source directory is also the destination directory.
