Re: Module to read and extract information from PDF's

Re: Module to read and extract information from PDF's

Out of the box Odoo is capable to extract the text content from a it.attachment.
You just need to make sure the pdfminer.six Python library is installed.

When hat is the case, the attachment document text is extracted and written in a ir.attachment text field.
You can then do content search or even implement business logic based on it.

Thanks

Hello everyone. 

We have a client using Odoo 16 that needs to extract information from a PDF file and update a res.partner record with this info. The PDF contains data like name, address, ZIP Code, VAT number, etc. Does anyone know of any module/python library that could help us with this?

Thank you!
