Hey Ahmad,

I have wrote this python code to convert pdf file to $.$COB I am not receiving the output files, that is I am not getting the $.$COB can you assist?

# importing required classes

from PyPDF$2$ import PdfReader

import os

from openbabel import openbabel as ob

def pdf$\_$to$\_$text$($pdf$\_$file$)$:

text $=""$

# Open the PDF file

with open$($pdf$\_$file, $\text{'}$rb$\text{'})$ as file:

reader $=$ PdfReader$($file$)$

# Extract text from each page

for page$\_$num in range$($len$($reader$.$pages$))$:

page $=$ reader.pages$[$page$\_$num$]$ # Fixed from page$\_$number to page$\_$num

text $+=$ page.extract$\_$text$()$

return text

def text$\_$to$\_$cob$($text$,$ cob$\_$file$)$:

# Initialize OpenBabel converter

conv $=$ ob$.$OBConversion$()$

conv.SetInAndOutFormats$("$smi$",$ "cob"$)$

# Convert text to COB format

mol $=$ ob$.$OBMol$()$

conv.ReadString$($mol$,$ text$)$

# Print the converted text

converted$\_$text $=$ conv.WriteString$($mol$)$

print$("$Converted text to COB format:"$)$

print$($converted$\_$text$)$

# Write COB file

conv.WriteFile$($mol$,$ cob$\_$file$)$

print$($f$"$COB file $\text{'}\{$cob$\_$file$\}\text{'}$ created successfully."$)$

def batch$\_$convert$\_$pdf$\_$to$\_$cob$($pdf$\_$folder, cob$\_$folder$)$:

# Iterate through all PDF files in the folder

for filename in os$.$listdir$($pdf$\_$folder$)$:

if filename.endswith$(\text{'}.$pdf$\text{'})$:

pdf$\_$file $=$ os$.$path.join$($pdf$\_$folder, filename$)$

print$($f$"$Processing PDF file: $\{$pdf$\_$file$\}")$

# Open the PDF file

with open$($pdf$\_$file, $\text{'}$rb$\text{'})$ as file:

pdf$\_$reader $=$ PdfReader$($file$)$

# Process the PDF content

# For example, you can access pages using pdf$\_$reader.pages

# and extract text using page.extract$\_$text$()$ method

# You need to define your logic here based on what you want to do with the PDF content

tex pdfto$\_$text$($pdf$\_$file$)$

cob$\_$file $=$ os$.$path.join$($cob$\_$folder, os$.$path.splitext$($filename$)[0]+\text{'}.$cob'$)$

text$\_$to$\_$cob$($text$,$ cob$\_$file$)$

print$($f$"$COB file $\text{'}\{$cob$\_$file$\}\text{'}$ created successfully."$)$

# Specify input and output folders

pdf$\_$folder $=$ r$\text{'}$C:$\backslash$Users$\backslash$c$1238\backslash$Documents$\backslash$mainframe$\_$COBOL'

cob$\_$folder $=$ r$\text{'}$C:$\backslash$Users$\backslash$c$1238\backslash$Documents$\backslash$output$\_$cob$\_$folder'

# Perform batch conversion

batch$\_$convert$\_$pdf$\_$to$\_$cob$($pdf$\_$folder,cob$\_$folder$)$

this is the output: Processing PDF file: C:$\backslash$Users$\backslash$c$1238\backslash$Documents$\backslash$mainframe$\_$COBOL$\backslash$Z$990010$L$.$pdf

Converted text to COB format:

COB file $\text{'}$C:$\backslash$Users$\backslash$c$1238\backslash$Documents$\backslash$output$\_$cob$\_$folder$\backslash$Z$990010$L$.$cob' created successfully.

COB file $\text{'}$C:$\backslash$Users$\backslash$c$1238\backslash$Documents$\backslash$output$\_$cob$\_$folder$\backslash$Z$990010$L$.$cob' created successfully.

Processing PDF file: C:$\backslash$Users$\backslash$c$1238\backslash$Documents$\backslash$mainframe$\_$COBOL$\backslash$Z$990010$P$.$pdf

Converted text to COB format:

what's up$???$ get the correct message but not conversion files
