Try using PDFMiner

Introduction

I had to parse the PDF file. I wanted to do it in Python for the time being. A library called PDFMiner seems to be useful, so I tried using it.

Creating a Python2 environment

I only had a Python3 environment at hand, so I increased the Python2 environment.

$ pyenv install 2.7.13
...abridgement...
$ pyenv local 2.7.13
$ python --version
Python 2.7.13

It's done.

Trial

I will use it as a trial.

$ cat ./samples/simple1.pdf | head
%PDF-1.4

Apparently this tool called pdf2txt.py works fine.
