Pdfminer and Tesseract not found
Using Python 3.7.6, Pip 20.0.2, Conda 4.8.2, Spyder 4.0.1, and Textract 1.6.3.
When using textract.process('url', method='METHOD'), 'pdftotext' executes without problem (but the pdf is not text so it prints gibberish). When I try using 'tesseract' or 'pdfminer', I get the following (2?) error(s) which I'm hoping to resolve (example below is tesseract). Not well-versed with programming languages so let me know if it's anything obvious.

Tesseract is an external dependency that is not automatically installed along with textract. Since you're using Conda, you should be able to install the package in this link.
Pdfminer however is a Python dependency and should have been installed with textract. Could you show the complete error log when trying the pdfminer method?
I installed tesseract via the link but still got the same error message. Here is the error for pdfminer:
