In this tutorial video, the presenter, J, demonstrates how to extract text from a PDF file using Python. The video focuses on extracting lecture notes from a two-page PDF and saving the text into a text file. Starting with the setup, the presenter instructs viewers to open a Python editor and create a new Python file. The process involves using the `PyPDF2` library, which can be installed via the command `pip install PyPDF2`. The presenter explains how to import the necessary classes, like PDF file reader and writer, and how to set the file path, assuming the PDF file is in the same folder as the Python script.
