Hi. Thank you for posting an issue. Could you elaborate the environment and the command that you used to get the error?

using python 3.8.8 used pip install pdf-struct

OK. It seems be an error when building a cython module in editdistance library that pdf-struct depends on (confirm by testing pip install editdistance). You might be able to bypass the build by installing wheel (pip install wheel).

If that doesn't work, you need to setup C++ compiler accordingly. I found a following stackoverflow post that might be related to your problem. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66838238/cython-setup-py-cant-find-installed-visual-c-build-tools

not working with wheel also already tried that stackoverflow post not working 3.8.8 (default, Apr 13 2021, 15:08:03) [MSC v.1916 64 bit (AMD64)] installed version 14.16 but still same error persists

Hmmm. It is likely to do with the C++ compiler installation and there is not much that I can do when I don't have access to your environment. I suggest you contact Cython or editdistance, which seems to be the cause of failure, for further help.
