title: Python: Conversion of scanned pdf to excel in python programming
body: <p>I'm new to python development, is there any way to convert scanned PDF/image to Excel using Python.</p>
  
  <p><em>I tried with following method:</em></p>
  
  <p>Step 1:
  Install <code>pypandoc</code> library, </p>
  
  <p><code>pip install pypandoc</code>
  and import library in my code file as same as shown below</p>
  
  <pre><code>import pypandoc
  from reportlab.lib.testutils import outputfile
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Step 2:</p>
  
  <p>Added below code for conversion to excel</p>
  
  <pre><code>canout = pypandoc.convert_file("DT.pdf", 'excel', outputfile="MyPdf.excel")
  assert canout==""
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But not able to succeed. Please suggest me for the same implementation.</p>
  
  <p>Note: If any other way of implementation is also welcome.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
