There are no mandatory external dependencies. However, some optional features become available only if additional packages are installed.
You can also try without installing by visiting PyMuPDF.io.
Basic usage is as follows:
import pymupdf # imports the pymupdf library
doc = pymupdf.open("example.pdf") # open a document
for page in doc: # iterate the document pages
text = page.get_text() # get plain text encoded as UTF-8
Full documentation can be found on pymupdf.readthedocs.io.
