- Chapter Detection: Identifies chapter headers using pattern matching (
Chapter X) - Content Grouping: Aggregates text from consecutive pages under each chapter
- Efficiency: Processes pages sequentially without storing all text in memory
- Error Handling: Skips empty pages and handles chapter boundaries gracefully
How It Works:

- After processing all pages, saves the final chapter
- Returns dictionary of chapters with titles as keys
Notes:
- Requires PyPDF2 library (
pip install PyPDF2) - Works best with PDFs where chapter headers appear at the top of pages
- Handles multi-page chapters automatically
- Skips empty pages to avoid processing artifacts
- Returns raw text content (no formatting preserved)
This solution efficiently extracts and organizes content from the provided PDF, making it easy to access each chapter’s full text for further processing or analysis.
