Not an issue : Future support of python-pdfbox. #17

pdfbox has largely used the package in java and i liked it. Now I have to read pdf file in python and you have done the superb job so are you going to provide support-related pdfbox all function related to extracting data from pdf? Can I extract headings from pdf using this library?

I wasn't planning to add support for pdfbox's full API at the present time, mainly because of limited time on my part and the fact that I'm not using python-pdfbox much at the present (python-pdfbox wraps pdfbox's command-line interface rather than the full API). I suspect you probably would need to make use of pdfbox's PDFTextStripperByArea class; take a look at this gist for an example of how to access pdfbox's full API from Python.
