Thanks for sharing the PDF @erkin98 Since, that top left text is not wrapped in a rect object, there is no straightforward way to extract it. One alternate workaround would be to get the coordinates of those horizontal lines at the top and bottom of the text, crop the page and then extract text from it.

You can do so by running the following code:

import pdfplumber

pdf = pdfplumber.open("file.pdf")
page = pdf.pages[0]
top_line = page.horizontal_edges[2]  # The top line is actually the 3rd horizontal edge.
bottom_line = page.horizontal_edges[4]  # The bottom line is actually the 5th horizontal edge.

page = page.crop(
    (top_line["x0"], top_line["top"], top_line["x1"], bottom_line["bottom"])  # Create a rect object using the coordinates of the 2 horizontal edges.
)

print(page.extract_text())

The cropped page looks like

and the output is
