Get text from pdf page excluding page number

[vignesh0710]

Trying to get text from pdf page excluding the page number in the right bottom corner

code:

import fitz 
# version -> 1.23.1

def get_clip(fitz_page):
  
   margin = 25
   page_rect = fitz_page.rect
   clip_rect = fitz.Rect(page_rect.x0 + 0, page_rect.y0 + 0, page_rect.x1 - 0, page_rect.y1 - margin)
   return clip_rect

doc = fitz.open("f.pdf")
clip_text = get_clip(doc[1])
doc[1].get_text(clip = clip_text)

This works for some cases, but often it removes more text than the page number.

Is there a better way to remove the page number when getting text from page?

No one can know where the PDF creator has decided to put header, footer, etc. including page numbers. All this is just text as per the PDF's perspective.
There is no other way for you than writing code that investigates the situation.
For example, extract the text via the "blocks" variant using sort=True. Then look at the string part of the last block tuple. If it contains something that "looks like" a page number, use the block's coordinates for removal / exclusion.
Something like this:

blocks=page.get_text("blocks", sort=True)
if "Page" in blocks[-1][4]:  # text in the last block, adjust as needed
    blocks = blocks[:-1]  # ignore last block
text = "\n".join([b[4] for b in blocks])
