Get all PDF files name under same folder and save in excel according to PDF file name-CodePudding

I have PDF files in same folder. How to get all PDF file names and save as excel file according to PDF file name. This is what I have tried

def get_files(pdf_path):
    import os
    os.chdir(pdf_path)
    files = os.listdir()
    files = [x for x in files if x.endswith(".pdf")]
    return files 
    
files = get_files(pdf_path)

for i in files:
    save_as_excel(pdf_path, i)

If you mean saving each filename as an empty excel file, try this :

import os
import openpyxl

pdf_path = '.'

def get_files(pdf_path):
    os.chdir(pdf_path)
    files = os.listdir()
    files = [x for x in files if x.endswith(".pdf")]
    return files 
    
files = get_files(pdf_path)

# create an empty workbook (excel file)
wb = openpyxl.workbook.Workbook()
for i in files:
    output_path = os.path.join(pdf_path, i).replace('.pdf', '.xlsx')
    # save as an excel file with filename
    wb.save(output_path)
    print(output_path)

As discussed on

Lets say you have following pdf files in the directory sample.pdf, sample2.pdf, sample3.pdf. The xlsx files will be created in the same folder with following filename sample.pdf.xlsx, sample2.pdf.xlsx, sample3.pdf.xlsx

Let me know if you have any doubts in the above code.
