pdf to text.py doesn't work for San Jose city documents #6

There's a bug in our script that draws text from pdfs. The San Jose test documents (SanJose_Legistar & SanJose_Legistar2) both generate blank text.

Here's the error log:

SanJose_Legistar.pdf unsuccessful <class 'UnicodeEncodeError'> ('charmap'

wall of text!!!!

character maps to undefined

I will take this up. Thanks for the heads up!
