假设您正在使用pdfminer
和pypdf2
. 如果您知道可以使用的列和行的大小(以英寸为单位) minecart
(完全披露:我写了minecart
)。示例代码:
import minecart
# minecart units are 1/72 inch, measured from bottom-left of the page
ROW_BORDERS = (
72 * 1, # Bottom row starts 1 inch from the bottom of the page
72 * 3, # Second row starts 3 inches from the bottom of the page
72 * 5, # Third row starts 5 inches from the bottom of the page
72 * 7, # Third row ends 7 inches from the bottom of the page
)
COLUMN_BORDERS = (
72 * 8, # Third col ends 8 inches from the left of the page
72 * 6, # Third col starts 6 inches from the left of the page
72 * 4, # Second col starts 4 inches from the left of the page
72 * 2, # First col starts 2 inches from the left of the page
) # reversed so that BOXES is ordered properly
BOXES = [
(left, bot, right, top)
for top, bot in zip(ROW_BORDERS, ROW_BORDERS[1:])
for left, right in zip(COLUMN_BORDERS, COLUMN_BORDERS[1:])
]
