In this tutorial, the presenter, J, explains how to extract text from a PDF file using Python. He wants to convert lecture notes in a two-page PDF into a text file. The process begins by opening a Python editor and creating a new Python file. J uses the `PyPDF2` library to achieve this and mentions the installation command `pip install PyPDF2`. He imports the `PdfFileReader` and `PdfFileWriter` classes from the library. To access the PDF, he sets up a variable to store the file path, noting that his Python file and PDF are in the same folder, allowing him to provide just the filename. The tutorial continues with instructions to open the PDF using `PdfFileReader`.
