Trying to pipe output of pdfx causes error

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pdfx", line 11, in sys.exit(main()) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pdfx/cli.py", line 189, in main print_to_console(text) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pdfx/cli.py", line 130, in print_to_console bytes_string = text.encode(sys.stdout.encoding, 'backslashreplace') TypeError: encode() argument 1 must be string, not None

Should be fixed now. Please let me know if it still persists with v1.4.1
