Alice’s Lullaby

Alice’s Lullaby is a first-person horror adventure that plunges players into a surreal, psychedelic journey through time to rescue young Alice from the uncanny, macabre world of Styx. As players navigate treacherous environments and unravel the metaphysical mystery of a grandchild cult, they discover why they are labeled the monster, all while experiencing an unsettling atmosphere crafted without gore or jump scares, relying instead on eerie design and immersive sound.

To extract text from the provided base64-encoded PDF, follow these steps:

Solution Code

Explanation:

1. Base64 Decoding: The input string is a multi-line base64-encoded PDF. Newlines and extra spaces are removed to form a continuous base64 string, which is then decoded into binary PDF data.
2. PDF Processing: The binary PDF data is loaded into memory using io.BytesIO, allowing efficient handling without writing to disk.
3. Text Extraction: The pdfplumber library is used to open the PDF and extract text from each page. The extracted text is concatenated into a single string.
4. Output: The combined text from all pages is returned, providing the complete content of the PDF.

Notes:

• Dependencies: Ensure pdfplumber and base64 are installed (pip install pdfplumber).
• Large Files: This approach handles large files efficiently by processing data in memory.
• Encrypted PDFs: If the PDF is encrypted, additional decryption steps would be required (not covered here).

This solution decodes the base64 PDF and extracts all text content, returning it as a clean string.
