Are the 3 directories called pdflib, samples & tools? > how would I import them? The simple answer is: you -shouldn't- be. PDFMiner is a set of tools -to be used from the command line- rather than a PDF-handling library. You're not meant to unpack PDFMiner into site-packages, instead you should unpack it to a temporary location and run make. Please read the documentation on the PDFMiner site, it's pretty clear that it's a suite of tools. If you're after a library for dealing programmatically with PDF files, try pyPDF: http://pybrary.net/pyPdf/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
