Converting PDF to html with PDFminer

Question

I am trying to use the pdfminer command line tool to convert a pdf file to an html file, after running this

pdf2txt.py -o output.html -t html casino.pdf

I am getting the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/pdf2txt.py", line 101, in <module>
    if __name__ == '__main__': sys.exit(main(sys.argv))
  File "/usr/local/bin/pdf2txt.py", line 87, in main
    layoutmode=layoutmode, laparams=laparams, outdir=outdir)
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'outdir'

I have used this library before and it was working perfectly, I am really having a hard time to understand whats going on

here is a link to the library http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/python/pdfminer/index.html

Answer 1

it seems to be working after deleting and re-installing the library
