Why did it download macosx, I am on Linux.

This will also fail on Mac OS, and is an issue on pdfminer2's package. pip install pdfminer2 (or pip install pdfx) will work.

marado commented 8 years ago

In any case, there's no reason now to depend on pdfminer2 instead of pdfminer.six ...

Solved, using pdfminer.six since v1.4.1. Thanks. Was absent for a long time... kids 😂
