Dinesh,
I have pdftotext version 3.0.0. I have decided to use this to go from
PDF to text. It is not the ideal solution, but is is a certainly doable

Thank you,
Robert

It's not a Python library but you can call pdftotext from with Python
using os.system(). I used the pdftotext -layout option and that gave
the best result. hth.

You can use subprocess;
#!/usr/bin/python
from subprocess import call
call(['pdftotext', 'test.pdf'])
