In this video tutorial, the presenter demonstrates how to extract text from PDFs using Python. The example PDF, named lorem.pdf, contains lorem ipsum text with a hidden character, Waldo, to find throughout the pages. The tutorial utilizes Visual Studio Code and involves activating a virtual environment, although it is not necessary for viewers to follow along. The presenter installs the necessary library, PyPDF2, emphasizing the correct capitalization. After updating pip, the next step is to create a script named extract.py and import the PdfFileReader from PyPDF2 to create a PDF file reader object for text extraction.
