* Attempt to handle decompression error on some broken PDF files from times to times we go through files where no text is detected, while readers like evince reads the pdf nicely. After digging it occured this is because the PDF includes some badly compressed data. This may be fixed by uncompressing byte per byte and ignoring the error on the last check bytes (arbitrarily found to be the 3 last). This has been largely inspired by https://github.com/mstamy2/PyPDF2/issues/422 and the test file has been taken from there, so credits to @zegrep. * Attempt to handle decompression error on some broken PDF files from times to times we go through files where no text is detected, while readers like evince reads the pdf nicely.

pdfminer.six
We fathom PDF
Pdfminer.six is a community maintained fork of the original PDFMiner. It is a tool for extracting information from PDF documents. It focuses on getting and analyzing text data. Pdfminer.six extracts the text from a page directly from the sourcecode of the PDF. It can also be used to get the exact location, font or color of the text.
It is built in a modular way such that each component of pdfminer.six can be replaced easily. You can implement your own interpreter or rendering device that uses the power of pdfminer.six for other purposes than text analysis.
