📅 2025-01-27 — Session: Implemented and Verified PDF Text Chunking Tool
🕒 21:40–22:25
🏷️ Labels: Pdf Processing, Python, Automation, Text Chunking
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM
Session Goal
The goal of this session was to implement a tool for processing PDF files by extracting text, chunking it into manageable pieces, and saving the results as text files.
Key Activities
- Implemented a Python script using PyPDF2 and nltk for extracting and chunking text from PDF files.
- Successfully processed a PDF file, generating and saving chunk files in the specified directory.
- Verified the success of the PDF chunking process, confirming the generation of a chunk file named ‘chunk_1.txt’.
- Identified and planned adjustments for overly aggressive content splitting to improve sentence or paragraph preservation.
- Addressed missing variable handling by proposing re-importing and extracting text with adjusted logic.
Achievements
- Completed the implementation and verification of the PDF text chunking tool.
- Successfully generated and saved chunk files for further review or download.
Pending Tasks
- Adjust the chunking logic to better preserve sentences or paragraphs while maintaining manageable chunk sizes.
