Sometimes PDFs do not contain the text as it’s displayed, but instead an image. You notice that when you cannot copy the text. Then there are PDF files that contain an image and a text layer in the background. That typically happens when a document was scanned. Although the scanning software (OCR) is pretty good today, it still fails once in a while. PyPDF2 is no OCR software; it will not be able to detect those failures. PyPDF2 will also never be able to extract text from images.

Yes , can you see the test2.pdf? In that pdf file, text is there but it gives the random numbers like some text encryption is there.
