Raise proper error when bad --output-type is used and fix formatting output of TagExtractor
* high_level: emit diagnostic for bad output_type

* TagExtractor: eliminate runtime error

This does not make is usable, but will satisfy my curiosity.

* Use if-elif-else structure

* Fix pycharm spacing warning

* Rename _write_outfp to _write

* Properly format tag names and tag values. Using utils.make_compat_str() such that the tag value is always a string.

* Update CHANGELOG.md

* Fix flake8 errors

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.

Check out the full documentation on Read the Docs.
