* Fix typos and possible mistakes. * Revert two edits based on discussion in #579 Revert the two changes based on our discussion. I read the documentation and had a glimpse at the default code. And perhaps the confusion was caused by the figure that shows the Char Margin (M) and the Word Margin (W). Clearly, M is smaller than W in absolute terms, but as mentioned, they are both relative numbers. Maybe it is useful to point that out in the figure but I am not sure how best to do it. Another option is to mention use something like `min_char_margin_threshold` or similar, in the hope that they are easier to understand. Just some thoughts! * Triggering travis again Co-authored-by: Pieter Marsman <pietermarsman@gmail.com> |

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.
