In this tutorial, Jay demonstrates how to extract text from a PDF file using Python. He uses a PDF containing lecture notes as an example, aiming to save the extracted text into a text file. Jay begins by instructing viewers to open their Python editor and create a new Python file. He utilizes the `PyPDF2` library, which can be installed via pip. After importing the necessary classes—PDF file reader and writer—he shows how to define the file path for the PDF. Since the PDF file and Python script are in the same folder, he directly uses the filename to reference the PDF. Next, he proceeds to open the file using the PDF file reader class to facilitate text extraction.
