ive been thinking to make a script that checks all my downloaded pdfs and renames them using the title from inside the file. im delivery driver and i get lot of invoices and receipts i need to keep track of. could be a good beginner project for someone who never worked with pdf libraries before

: Beginner/Intermediate

: Python, PyPDF2 or pdfplumber

: Scan a folder of pdf files, extract first page text, find something that looks like a title or invoice number, then rename the file. maybe add a gui later with tkinter if you feel brave

: PyPDF2 documentation have good examples for text extraction

Project idea: CSV data explorer

Difficulty: Beginner/Intermediate Tech stack: Python’s csv, argparse, and statistics modules

Build a command-line tool that shows column names, counts missing values, and summarizes numeric columns. A nice next step is letting users filter rows and save the results to a new CSV.
