pdfminer

I get a UnicodeEncodeError when using pdfminer (the latest version from git ) installed via pip install git+https://github.com/pdfminer/pdfminer.six.git : Traceback (most recent call last): File "pdfminer_sample3.py", line 34, in <module> print(convert_pdf_to_txt("samples/numbers-test-document.pdf")) File "pdfminer_sample3.py", line 27, in convert_pdf_to_txt text = retstr.getvalue() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/StringIO.py", line 271, in getvalue self.buf += ''.join(self.buflist) UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128) How can I fix that?

I would like to extract a pdf with pdfminer (version 20140328). This is the code to extract the pdf: import sys from pdfminer.pdfinterp import PDFResourceManager, PDFPageInterpreter from pdfminer.pdfpage import PDFPage from pdfminer.converter import XMLConverter, HTMLConverter, TextConverter from pdfminer.layout import LAParams from cStringIO import StringIO import urllib2 def pdf_to_string(data): fp = StringIO(data) rsrcmgr = PDFResourceManager() retstr = StringIO() codec = 'utf-8' laparams = LAParams() device = TextConverter(rsrcmgr, retstr, codec=codec, laparams=laparams) # Create a PDF

I’m new to Python and programming in general. I am trying to install pdfMiner. I have Windows 7 with Python 2.7 installed. I followed the instructions when installing (downloaded the PDFMiner source, unpacked it, and ran setup.py to install and it was installed in C:\pdfminer ) – no errors. It created: build , build\lib,build\lib\pdfminer , then copied files to build\lib\pdfminer . It created build\scripts-2.7 and copied tools\pdf2txt.py , dymppdf.py to scripts , then wrote install-egg-info and had no errors with install. When I try running the test document from the command line: C:\pdfminer

Since I want to move from python 2 to 3, I tried to work with pdfmine.3kr in python 3.4. It seems like they have edited everything. Their change logs do not reflect the changes they have done but I had no success in parsing pdf with pdfminer3k. For example: They have moved PDFDocument into pdfparser (sorry, if I spell incorrectly). PDFPage used to have create_pages method which is gone now. All I can see inside PDFPage are internal methods. Does anybody has a working example of pdfminer3k? It seems like there is no new documentation to reflect any of the changes. CPB If you are interested in

I find this question , but it uses command line, and I do not want to call a Python script in command line using subprocess and parse HTML files to get the font information. I want to use PDFminer as a library, and I find this question , but they are just all about extracting plain texts, without other information such as font name, font size, and so on. #!/usr/bin/env python from pdfminer.pdfparser import PDFParser from pdfminer.pdfdocument import PDFDocument from pdfminer.pdfpage import PDFPage from pdfminer.pdfinterp import PDFResourceManager from pdfminer.pdfinterp import
