Selenium can download the PDF, and then you can extract content using libraries like PyMuPDF.

For OCR-based PDFs, try Tesseract to extract text from images within the PDF.

When extracting data from PDFs with web scraping tools, I usually start by checking whether the document contains selectable text or scanned images because that changes the approach completely. If I need to convert pages into a more workable format first, I often use https://jpgtopdf.com/ since it makes organizing and preparing files much easier before processing them further. After that, combining OCR, PDF parsers, and scraping libraries usually delivers cleaner, more reliable results with less manual correction.

Extracting data from PDFs can be tricky, but sometimes you just need to combine source documents before processing. A simple way to merge word files is available through this online tool. It streamlines the prep work so your scraping or analysis pipeline gets clean input. I’ve used it to consolidate reports before running scripts, and it works reliably. The interface is straightforward, and the merged file retains the original formatting. It’s a good first step in any document-heavy workflow.
