dhuang14 MiniProject1 Idea

@pattle-vols Here is my MiniProject1 idea. I hope to analyze the manuals of the two popular gaming consoles Play Station 5 and Xbox X|S for both of their most frequent English words. I would convert them into PDF documents and then compare them afterward.

CFI-1115B Quick Start Guide pg. 1-13.

This seems like an interesting idea, like checking if the consoles and peripherals are referred to by those names in both manuals or by their titles like PlayStation, Xbox, and the controllers names. My only question is whether python can open pdfs on its own or would you be adding a library to get the text?

Thank you. I am very interested in the results to see what words would be most common in the manuals. My assumption would be the company or console's names being a part of the top of that list but I could be wrong. As far as getting the content from the pdfs, python actually has some libraries like PyPDF2 that could extract pdf data such as the text.
