noting I have windows10 and I used powesell window simply using cmd could not run commands(is that right?) then pip install pdfminer then python3 pdf2txt.py C:\gropid\input\Attention.pdf -o output C:\gropid\output in output dir I got folde(.idea) in it three files( models.xml, output.iml, workspace.xml)

I am still learning and this is one of my attempts to use code from GitHub so maybe I miss something need just some comments to understand what is going on thanks!

Try without "output" and with ".txt" at the end. For example,

python3 pdf2txt.py C:\gropid\input\Attention.pdf -o C:\gropid\output.txt
