Debug

Known issues

deprecatedpdfminer2 is deprecated. Use pdfminer.six for active maintenance and Python 3 support.

fix

Replace pdfminer2 with pdfminer.six (pip install pdfminer.six) and update imports to pdfminer.high_level.

affects: all

breakingImport paths differ between pdfminer2 and newer forks like pdfminer.six. Code that works on one may break on the other.

fix

If migrating from pdfminer2 to pdfminer.six, use 'from pdfminer.high_level import extract_text' for simpler extraction.

affects: all

gotchaThe PDFDocument constructor may not validate the password argument; calling doc.initialize() can raise TypeError if password is wrong.

fix

Wrap doc.initialize(password=...) in try-except or provide the correct password.
