I'm trying to read a .pdf file for the first time in python, This file has OCR in it.

from wand.image import Image
from PIL import Image as PI
#import pyocrfrom PythonMagick import Image
from PythonMagick import Image
import pyocr.builders
import io

im = Image()
im.read(r"D:/test.pdf")

I have downloaded PythonMagick file which has .whl extension, as directed in this post But still I get error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PythonMagick'

How and what step should be followed so that I could be able to read the OCR PDF in python. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

.whl is not the file you meant do download. Install pip tools and use pip install PythonMagick command. Installing pip is a little bit complicated if you are using Windows.

  • This gives error "C:\Users\Admin1>pip install PythonMagick Collecting PythonMagick Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement PythonMagick (from ver sions: ) No matching distribution found for PythonMagick" – Andre_k Sep 19 '17 at 11:43
  • Make sure you are using python2 and it's pip. Not the python3 one. – Marcin Kolenda Sep 19 '17 at 11:54
  • I'm executing the command from command prompt "python -m pip install PythonMagick"... but still gives error " Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement PythonMagick (from ver sions: ) No matching distribution found for PythonMagick" – Andre_k Sep 19 '17 at 12:17
