Description-en: PDF parser and analyser
PDFMiner is a tool for extracting information from PDF documents, which
focuses entirely on getting and analyzing text data. It allows one to obtain
the exact location of text portions in a page, as well as other information
such as fonts or lines. It includes a PDF converter that can transform PDF
files into other text formats (such as HTML). It has an extensible PDF parser
that can be used for other purposes than text analysis.
.
This package provides the Python module and the command-line tools: pdf2txt
and dumppdf.
