I am getting the following error in my code: "'_VirtualList' object is not callable"

This is the code:

import os
from openpyxl import Workbook
from PyPDF2 import PdfReader

input_folder = r"C:\Users\91620\OneDrive\Desktop\Final Year Project\case laws (2)\New folder (2)"
output_file = r"C:\Users\91620\OneDrive\Desktop\Final Year Project\sentemental.xlsx"

wb = Workbook()
ws = wb.active

for i, filename in enumerate(os.listdir(input_folder)):
    if filename.endswith(".pdf"):
       filepath = os.path.join(input_folder, filename)
       with open(filepath, "rb") as f:
           pdf = PdfReader(f)
           readerpdf=len(pdf.pages())
           for page in range(readerpdf):
               text = pdf.getPage(page).extractText()
               ws.cell(row=page+1, column=i+1).value = text

wb.save(output_file)

This is the error I am receiving:

TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
Cell In [9], line 16
     14 with open(filepath, "rb") as f:
     15     pdf = PdfReader(f)
---> 16     readerpdf=len(pdf.pages())
     17     for page in range(readerpdf):
     18         text = pdf.getPage(page).extractText()

TypeError: '_VirtualList' object is not callable

I want the pdf files text in the column of a excel sheet

The reason you received an error is actually explained by the Traceback. On line 16, there is a non-callable object that is being called. There are 2 objects that are being called on line 16: len() and pages(). You know that len is callable (as it is a built-in function), so the non-callable object must be pages.

Simply remove the parentheses, so that you have pdf.pages.
