Please provide code a simple code (focusing on failed page / image) to ease the analysis.

Hm, interesting. That works fine:

from pypdf import PdfReader, __version__

print(f"pypdf=={__version__}")

reader = PdfReader("New.Jersey.Coinbase.staking.securities.charges.2023-0606_Coinbase-Penalty-and-C-D.pdf")

for page in reader.pages:
    print(page.extract_text())

[MartinThoma]

I think the missing feature #1989 might be the issue here. It's just a bit hidden.

[pubpub-zz]

got something else behind too on page 10

@michelcrypt4d4mus Please provide code a simple code (focusing on failed page / image) to ease the analysis.

i linked to this code in my package; let me know if that's not enough. it's simple - just iterate over all pages + all images and extract text.

edit: the actual extraction is done with pytesseract but the code doesn't get that far bc it fails to iterate on the images in the image in pypdf as per my link in the original issue.

What I would like is a standalone code, focusing directly on the page and image which is producing the error. It simplify our analysis not checking everything

I've finally found the issue. PR is proposed

if line.is_space():
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'is_space'

Please let me know how to fix it
