Extracting text written in hindi from pdf in python
<p>I want to extract text typed in hindi from a pdf document.I've attached the  <a href="http://i.stack.imgur.com/UkT86.jpg" rel="nofollow">image of the sample page</a> I am dealing with.</p>

<p>I've tried using pdfminer to get text from it but the text is garbled (may be due to hindi fonts)</p>

<p>Now I am thinking of splitting the page in three parts and then splitting each part into two parts (seperating english and hindi text) then running ocr on each half to get text but only issue is I don't know the font used for hindi so I might again get garbled text.</p>

<p>My <strong>Question are, Is there some better way to deal with hindi fonts ? How Can I find font name ?</strong></p>
