TypeError: 'pdftotext.PDF' object has no attribute '__getitem__' about pdftotext HOT 1 CLOSED

Few things here:

• For compatibility with more platforms and/or python versions, consider open(filepath, "rb") to explicitly open the PDF file in binary mode.
• I added __getitem__ later, so you would just need a newer version for that.
• Later I also dropped read_all, since it didn't really provide much value. You can get the same result with "\n\n".join(pdf). (I initially thought read_all would be faster, but it turned out to make almost no difference.)

Sorry for all the changes, but I made sure to document them and to update the version number accordingly. This should do what you want:

import pdftotext

def get_text(filepath, page=None):
    with open(filepath, "rb") as f:
        pdf = pdftotext.PDF(f)
    if page is not None:
        text = pdf[page]
    else:
        text = "\n\n".join(pdf)
    return text

from pdftotext.
