This tool does not use pdfminer3k, but rather pdfminer.six. Installing pdfplumber automatically installs a compatible verison of pdfminer.six. If you have already installed pdfminer3k, you will need to uninstall it. I recommend:

pip uninstall pdfminer3k
pip uninstall pdfminer.six
pip install pdfplumber
