Build Status PyPI version gitter

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 build in a modular way such that each component of pdfminer.six can be replaced easily. You can implement your own interpreter or rendering device to use the power of pdfminer.six for other purposes that text analysis.
