Whitespace gone from PDF extraction, and strange word interpretation

Question

Using the snippet below, I\'ve attempted to extract the text data from this PDF file.

import pyPdf

def get_text(path):
    # Load PDF into pyPDF
    pdf = p         


        

Answer 1

I had solved this issue by using R:

library(pdftools)
pdf_file <- "xxx/untitled.pdf"
text <- pdf_text(pdf_file)
cat(text[1])
