In this tutorial, you will learn "How to Read OR Convert PDF Files into JSON files" in Python .

To read a PDF file page-wise into text and then add each page into a list within an array, you can use the PyPDF2 library along with Python's built-in list data structure.

In this code:

1. We define a function read_pdf_pages that takes the path to a PDF file as input.

2. Within the function, we open the PDF file and create a PdfReader object to read its contents.

3. We initialize an empty list called pages_text to store the text of each page.

4. We iterate through each page in the PDF using a for loop and extract the text from each page using the extractText() method.

5. The text of each page is then appended to the pages_text list.

6. After reading all pages, we write the pages_text list to a JSON file using the json.dump() function.

7. We also print the JSON representation of the pages_text list to the console for visualization.

Finally, we return the pages_text list containing the text of each page in the PDF.
