PDF & CSV Merger

Overview

This Python script extracts text from a PDF file, reads data from a CSV file, and generates a new PDF that combines the extracted text with tabular data.

Features

• Extracts text from a PDF file.
• Reads structured data from a CSV file.
• Generates a new PDF with extracted text and CSV data using reportlab.
• Handles multi-page output if data exceeds one page.

Prerequisites

Before running the script, ensure you have the following installed:

• Python 3.7 or later
• pip (Python package manager)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Sachinbisht27/pdf_csv_merger.git  
cd pdf_csv_merger  

2. Install required dependencies:

Usage

1. Place your input files in the same directory:
