Is it possible to do that without using a library? – Saltzman

Answer 1

There is a python library for that. Please have a look at PDFMiner.

http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/python/pdfminer/index.html.

pdftext.py gives you the text extracted out of pdf and it also gives you other information like font and font size etc.

You can try that.

Note: Python 3 is not supported

Python 3 is supported under PDFMiner.six. – Harmony

Currently PDFMiner does not allow to extract information about font color – Periphrastic
