Is there any method to extract it?

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry.
We suggest using regular expressions to match the content of titles. You can refer to the following code. If it does not meet your expected results, you can provide us with your input PDF document for a detailed investigation. You can upload here or send it to us via email（ support@e-iceblue.com ). Thank you in advance.

Code: Select all

pdf = PdfDocument()

# Load PDF document
pdf.LoadFromFile("../content.pdf")

MyFindOptions = PdfTextFindOptions()
# Define regular expressions that match titles
s_Title = "\\d+\\."
# Set as regular search
MyFindOptions.Parameter = TextFindParameter.Regex
# Set specified page numbers
MyPage = pdf.Pages[0]
# Search on the current page
MyFinder = PdfTextFinder(MyPage)
# Set as regular query method
MyFinder.Options = MyFindOptions
# Find a list of matching texts
L_Find = MyFinder.Find(s_Title)
# Circular list
for index, element in enumerate(L_Find): 
# Get the current line of text
    print(f"Index: {index}, title: {element.LineText}")
