Cool, that does solve the columns issue but it removes all spaces unfortunately.

I guess it's not mentioned in the README, but it is in the help output:

$ python
>>> import pdftotext
>>> help(pdftotext.PDF)

Help on class PDF in module pdftotext:

class PDF(builtins.object)
 |  PDF(pdf_file, password="", raw=False) -> new PDF document
 |  
 |  Methods defined here:
 |  
 |  __getitem__(self, key, /)
 |      Return self[key].
 |  
 |  __init__(self, /, *args, **kwargs)
 |      Initialize self.  See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.
 |  
 |  __len__(self, /)
 |      Return len(self).
 |  
 |  __new__(*args, **kwargs) from builtins.type
 |      Create and return a new object.  See help(type) for accurate signature.

Here's an example for getting the raw layout:

import pdftotext

with open("lorem_ipsum.pdf", "rb") as f:
    pdf = pdftotext.PDF(f, raw=True)

for page in pdf:
    print(page)

Hope it helps!

The help output could definitely make what each option does more obvious. I'll keep this issue open until I make an improvement there.

Improved the help doc in v2.1.2:

>>> import pdftotext
>>> help(pdftotext.PDF)

Help on class PDF in module pdftotext:

class PDF(builtins.object)
 |  PDF(pdf_file, password="", raw=False)
 |  
 |  Args:
 |      pdf_file: A file opened for reading in binary mode.
 |      password: Unlocks the document, if required. Either the owner
 |          password or the user password works.
 |      raw: If True, page text is output in the order it appears in the
 |          content stream, rather than in the order it appears on the
 |          page.
 |  
 |  Example:
 |      with open("doc.pdf", "rb") as f:
 |          pdf = PDF(f)
 |      for page in pdf:
 |          print(page)
