Good day. I'm having some trouble in getting the content of a pdf page, which is show in a url like this. I need to get some information that the page text has.
https://web.site.com/printRel.aspx?rel=usermov&cod=1
I've been trying a lot of solutions even from here, but none of those worked so far. The best result that I've foud was the following one, but it is giving an error.
Can anyone assist me fixing this or showing a best solution for this kind of operation?
class MyAdapter(HTTPAdapter):
def init_poolmanager(self, coections, maxsize, block=False):
self.poolmanager = PoolManager(num_pools=coections,
maxsize=maxsize,
block=block,
ssl_version=ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1)
def accessPages():
s = requests.Session()
s.mount('https://', MyAdapter())
r = s.get('https://web.site.com/printRel.aspx?rel=usermov&cod=1')
return r.text
def convert_pdf_to_txt(r):
writer = PdfFileWriter()
remoteFile = r + "%%EOF"
memoryFile = StringIO(remoteFile)
pdfFile = PdfFileReader(memoryFile)
for pageNum in xrange(0, 1):
currentPage = pdfFile.getPage(pageNum)
#currentPage.mergePage(watermark.getPage(0))
writer.addPage(currentPage)
outputStream = open("output.pdf","wb")
writer.write(outputStream)
outputStream.close()
Upon executing this I get the following error message
Traceback (most recent call last):
