In this tutorial, the video demonstrates how to extract text from PDFs using Python. The presenter uses a PDF titled "lorem.pdf," filled with lorem ipsum text, and includes a challenge to find a hidden character, Waldo. The environment used for this project is Visual Studio Code, and the tutor activates a virtual environment—though followers can proceed without one. The necessary package, PyPDF2 (noting the capitalization), is installed via pip. After confirming the installation, the presenter begins writing a script named "pdf_extract.py" and imports the PdfFileReader from the PyPDF2 library to create a PDF reader object.
