pdf - Python PDFMiner to search for keyword the return texts to csv

Question

I am trying to use PDFMiner or any PDF extraction tools to extract texts from PDF.

I want achieve: I search a keyword 'bank' and it returns the bank name or the whole row in the table

PDF Format like

bank,(sth,sth)|is|A ,(B , C）

I tried:

import io
from pdfminer.converter import TextConverter
from pdfminer.pdfinterp import PDFPageInterpreter
from pdfminer.pdfinterp import PDFResourceManager
from pdfminer.pdfpage import PDFPage
def extract_text_by_page(pdf_path):
    with open(pdf_path, 'rb') as fh:
        for page in PDFPage.get_pages(fh, 
                                      caching=True,
                                      check_extractable=True):
            resource_manager = PDFResourceManager()
            fake_file_handle = io.StringIO()
            converter = TextConverter(resource_manager, fake_file_handle)
            page_interpreter = PDFPageInterpreter(resource_manager, converter)
            page_interpreter.process_page(page)
            
            text = fake_file_handle.getvalue()
            yield text
    
            # close open handles
            converter.close()
            fake_file_handle.close()
    
def extract_text(pdf_path):
    for page in extract_text_by_page(pdf_path):
        print(page)
        print()
        
if __name__ == '__main__':
    print(extract_text('test.pdf'))

It currently return tables, but I just want the exact row with bank:A,

Any help will be appreciated!
