KERnano : PDF Kit

Hello Internet,

This post will be talking about the “PDF Kit” section of KERnano. As of writing of this post, this gives you a couple of options:

1. Extract Text
2. Password Remover

// Extract Text

I had written about this before, when I created my first tool P.T.E. (PDF Text Extractor), which is basically the older version of this tool, there only a couple of difference with this version.

I’m using a library called PDF Plumber instead of PyPDF. And I’m using the EasyGUI library, which opens up a window allowing the user to choose the file, instead of having to type in the name of the file.

The rest of the functionality is the same, which is to read the PDF given, and give you a text file with all the words extracted.

// Password Remover

This one came in handy a few times. Now let me be clear, this does NOT crack a password protected PDF. What it does is REMOVE the password.

Let say you were given an encrypted PDF, and your were given the password for it. This means every time you need to open up that PDF, you have to use the password that was provided to you. I’ve had this happen to me before, especially with online courses, you are given the material digitally with a password to open them.

With this tool, you give it the encrypted PDF, and you give it the password and it will create a fully non-encrypted copy of the PDF. Now you will have 2 version of the same PDF, the original encrypted on, and non-encrypted copy for your convenience.

// Project Update

As of this post, I have been working on turning the PDF Kit into its own tool. At this moment I create a GUI for it, and it works locally. I’m trying to see if I can turn it into a Web App or MicroSaaS. You can support the development of via it’s Patreon page.
