Hi @Canacedq can you share what PDF you are using? Is it one included in the repository?

Hi，I'm also encountered with this issue and using the exactly same PDF file downloaded from this github. pdfminer is 20110515 ver. and it can't run with the latest version of pdfminer. Please have a look at this issue,thanks!

Hi @conango,

I'm worried this might be a Windows encoding error, as it works fine on my Linux laptop. Can you try opening the file in binary mode?

with open('xxx.pdf', 'rb') as f:

Let me know if that works, thanks!

Hi,

Did you try and pass that to slate? so next run:

doc = slate.PDF(mypdf)

?
