Hi @erkin98 , could you confirm that the PDF indeed has more than 1 page and there is no break condition in the code that you may have missed out on adding here?

Running

import pdfplumber
tb = []

with pdfplumber.open(path) as pdf:
    for i in range(len(pdf.pages)):
        print(pdf.pages[i].extract_text())

works fine for me. Also, instead of doing for i in range, you can also do

for page in pdf.pages:
    print(page.extract_text())

since pdf.pages is an iterable and to get the iteration number, you can leverage using page.page_number (it will be 1-based and not 0-based).

If the PDF indeed has more than 1 page, request you to share the PDF and the output you are getting so that I can investigate this further.

import pdfplumber
tb = []
with pdfplumber.open(path) as pdf:
    for i in range(len(pdf.pages)):
        print(pdf.pages[i].extract_text())

and output is

<Page:1>
<Page:2>
<Page:3>
<Page:4>

yes my pdf has several pages i also tried

> for page in pdf.pages:
    print(page.extract_text())

same result returned

<Page:1> will be printed when doing print(page) and not page.extract_text() unless the PDF also actually contains that same text. Could you please provide the PDF redacting any sensitive information from it?

Update:
after first pages my pdf is scanned thank for answer
