Reply to comment by cm_34978 in [D] Data cleaning techniques for PDF documents with semantically meaningful parts by cm_34978

I was about to propose the same. For those who are interested, this seems to work for MacOS, too, but Windows is definitely a goto. A VBA script can also come in handy, for someone to get several PDFs, open them from Word and save as TXT.

Definitely. With windows, you get the advantage of the win32com library whereas with MacOS, you need need to play with AppleScript, which (in my hands) can be brittle and finicky.
