Asked By TechyTurtle99 On

Hey folks! I'm in the process of handling scientific articles, particularly those in the IEEE format, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to split the text I've extracted into coherent paragraphs. I've tried some straightforward methods using line breaks, but they often don't work well because PDFs typically have unexpected line breaks even within paragraphs and the overall paragraph structure is inconsistent. I'm on the lookout for better methods or tools—preferably free ones—that can help me reliably segment this text. Any tips or recommendations on libraries or approaches would be super helpful!

I’ve been using pdfplumber to get through wine lists, and it works surprisingly well for extracting text from PDFs. You might want to give it a shot!

Honestly, I've had great luck leveraging the ChatGPT API for similar tasks. It's really affordable and can handle splitting text quite effectively if you don’t mind using a paid tool.

Have you heard of IBM’s Docling? It’s another option you could explore for your PDF parsing needs.

You should definitely check out Kreutzberg; I've heard good things about it for parsing PDFs.
