Command Line Tools
------------------
PDFMiner comes with two handy tools:
pdf2txt.py and dumppdf.py.
pdf2txt.py
----------
pdf2txt.py extracts text contents from a PDF file.
It extracts all the text that are to be rendered programmatically,
i.e. text represented as ASCII or Unicode strings.
It cannot recognize text drawn as images that would require optical character recognition.
It also extracts the corresponding locations, font names, font sizes, writing
direction (horizontal or vertical) for each text portion.
You need to provide a password for protected PDF documents when its access is restricted.
You cannot extract any text from a PDF document which does not have extraction permission.
(For details, refer to the html document.)
dumppdf.py
----------
dumppdf.py dumps the internal contents of a PDF file in pseudo-XML format.
This program is primarily for debugging purposes,
but it's also possible to extract some meaningful contents (e.g. images).
(For details, refer to the html document.)
TODO
----
* PEP-8 and PEP-257 conformance.
* Better documentation.
* Crypt stream filter support.
