* Remove scaling font height/width with size of font bounding box * Refactor LTChar bounding box computation * Change expected outcome of `python tools/pdf2txt.py samples/simple3.pdf`, because it looks like an improvement. However, when I view `samples/simple3.pdf` I don't see any text at all. The change in expected outcome is explained by the fact that the bounding boxes of characters can be different, depending on the `/FontBBox` parameter of the font. * Add test for font sizes, and for this a high-level function that returns an iterator of LTPage objects * Add line to CHANGELOG |

pdfminer.six
Pdfminer.six is an community maintained fork of the original PDFMiner. It is a tool for extracting information from PDF documents. Unlike other PDF-related tools, it focuses entirely on getting and analyzing text data. Pdfminer.six allows one to obtain the exact location of text in a page, as well as other information such as fonts or lines. It includes a PDF converter that can transform PDF files into other text formats (such as HTML). It has an extensible PDF parser that can be used for other purposes than text analysis.
