In this video tutorial, the presenter demonstrates how to extract text from a PDF using the PDFBox library, focusing on Optical Character Recognition (OCR). The tutorial includes sample files for reading text, specifically pointing out that the method works only for PDFs generated from editable sources (like Word documents) where text can be selected. An example is shown with a PDF from the website about section. It also mentions that the technique does not apply to image-based PDFs, as text extraction limits arise when images are saved as PDFs. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the types of PDFs appropriate for OCR text extraction.
