Extracting text from specified area

[ajaysurya1221]

is there a way to extract text from pdf by specifying xmin, ymin, xmax, and ymax? I am trying to pass the bounding box coordinates detected from Yolo model to pypdf2.

The visitor function should provide you with the feature you are looking for:

@ajaysurya1221 Did it work? Could you add some minimal code / add an example for the docs?
