Answer 1

I had similar problem with some pdfs and for windows, this is working excellent for me:

1.- Download Xpdf tools for windows

2.- copy pdftotext.exe from xpdf-tools-win-4.00\bin32 to C:\Windows\System32 and also to C:\Windows\SysWOW64

3.- use subprocess to run command from console:

import subprocess

try:
    extInfo = subprocess.check_output('pdftotext.exe '+filePath + ' -',shell=True,stderr=subprocess.STDOUT).strip()
except Exception as e:
    print (e)
