After upgrading from 0.1.6 -> 0.1.7, when I run extract_text method as below, it returns None whereas previously returning the correct text.

import pdfbox
p = pdfbox.PDFBox()
text = p.extract_text('/path/to/my_file.pdf')

I can confirm this behaviour on my environment as well.

@lebedov , confirm.

lebedov commented 4 years ago

Confirmed. The wrappers now conform more closely to the wrapped tool's interface and only write to output files.

@lebedov So the usage needs to be changed in the README, yes?

lebedov commented 4 years ago

@ecatkins Yes - fixed.
