Using pdfminer.six for text extraction from PDFs

Installation

Installation is simple.

pip install pdfminer.six

Usage

Usage is just as simple!

from pdfminer.high_level import extract_text

text = extract_text("example.pdf")

And... that's it! Your PDF does need to have selectable text, though!
