In this video tutorial, the instructor demonstrates how to extract text from PDFs using Python. The example uses a PDF titled "lorem.pdf," which contains lorem ipsum text and features a hidden character, Waldo, to find within the document. The instructor sets up the project in Visual Studio Code, activates a virtual environment (optional for viewers), and installs the required library, PyPDF2 (noticing the case sensitivity). After successfully installing PyPDF2 and updating pip, the instructor begins creating a script named "pdf_extract.py." The next step involves importing the PDF file reader from PyPDF2 to create a PDF file reader object for text extraction.
