|`.extract_text_simple(x_tolerance=3, y_tolerance=3)`| A slightly faster but less flexible version of `.extract_text(...)`, using a simpler logic.|
|

|`.extract_words(x_tolerance=3, x_tolerance_ratio=None, y_tolerance=3, keep_blank_chars=False, use_text_flow=False, line_dir="ttb", char_dir="ltr", line_dir_rotated="ttb", char_dir_rotated="ltr", extra_attrs=[], split_at_punctuation=False, expand_ligatures=True, return_chars=False)`| Returns a list of all word-looking things and their bounding boxes. Words are considered to be sequences of characters where (for "upright" characters) the difference between the `x1` of one character and the `x0` of the next is less than or equal to `x_tolerance` *and* where the `doctop` of one character and the `doctop` of the next is less than or equal to `y_tolerance`. (If `x_tolerance_ratio` is not `None`, the extractor uses a dynamic `x_tolerance` equal to `x_tolerance_ratio * previous_character["size"]`.) A similar approach is taken for non-upright characters, but instead measuring the vertical, rather than horizontal, distances between them. Changing `keep_blank_chars` to `True` will mean that blank characters are treated as part of a word, not as a space between words. Changing `use_text_flow` to `True` will use the PDF's underlying flow of characters as a guide for ordering and segmenting the words, rather than presorting the characters by x/y position. (This mimics how dragging a cursor highlights text in a PDF; as with that, the order does not always appear to be logical.) The arguments `line_dir` and `char_dir` tell this method the direction in which lines/characters are expected to be read; valid options are "ttb" (top-to-bottom), "btt" (bottom-to-top), "ltr" (left-to-right), and "rtl" (right-to-left). The `line_dir_rotated` and `char_dir_rotated` arguments are similar, but for text that has been rotated. Passing a list of `extra_attrs` (e.g., `["fontname", "size"]` will restrict each words to characters that share exactly the same value for each of those [attributes](#char-properties), and the resulting word dicts will indicate those attributes. Setting `split_at_punctuation` to `True` will enforce breaking tokens at punctuations specified by `string.punctuation`; or you can specify the list of separating punctuation by pass a string, e.g., <code>split_at_punctuation='!"&\'()*+,.:;<=>?@[\]^\`\{\|\}~'</code>. Unless you set `expand_ligatures=False`, ligatures such as `fi` will be expanded into their constituent letters (e.g., `fi`). Passing `return_chars=True` will add, to each word dictionary, a list of its constituent characters, as a list in the `"chars"` field.|

|`.extract_text_lines(layout=False, strip=True, return_chars=True, **kwargs)`|*Experimental feature* that returns a list of dictionaries representing the lines of text on the page. The `strip` parameter works analogously to Python's `str.strip()` method, and returns `text` attributes without their surrounding whitespace. (Only relevant when `layout = True`.) Setting `return_chars` to `False` will exclude the individual character objects from the returned text-line dicts. The remaining `**kwargs` are those you would pass to `.extract_text(layout=True, ...)`.|
