OCR-Based PDF-to-Word Form Population

OCR-Based PDF-to-Word Form Population

Reads PDF packages with OCR and fills the matching fields in Word form templates, replacing manual transcription.

Problem / Challenge

Fields on Word form templates had to be typed in by hand from the matching PDF packages.

Solution

A desktop tool, packaged with PyInstaller and given a tkinter interface, renders PDF pages with PyMuPDF and runs Tesseract OCR. It maps the extracted text into the Word template's fields and saves the completed forms.

How it works

  • Add PDF packages and Word templates
  • Render PDF pages
  • OCR the text
  • Map text to Word fields
  • Save completed forms
