Extract files after downloading

Due to the processing of Chinese files, precompiling is required

To work with the CJK language, do the following before running setup.py install:

mkdir pdfminer\cmap

python tools\conv_cmap.py -c B5=cp950 -c UniCNS-UTF8=utf-8 pdfminer\cmap Adobe-CNS1 cmaprsrc\cid2code_Adobe_CNS1.txt
python tools\conv_cmap.py -c GBK-EUC=cp936 -c UniGB-UTF8=utf-8 pdfminer\cmap Adobe-GB1 cmaprsrc\cid2code_Adobe_GB1.txt
python tools\conv_cmap.py -c RKSJ=cp932 -c EUC=euc-jp -c UniJIS-UTF8=utf-8 pdfminer\cmap Adobe-Japan1 cmaprsrc\cid2code_Adobe_Japan1.txt
python tools\conv_cmap.py -c KSC-EUC=euc-kr -c KSC-Johab=johab -c KSCms-UHC=cp949 -c UniKS-UTF8=utf-8 pdfminer\cmap Adobe-Korea1 cmaprsrc\cid2code_Adobe_Korea1.txt
python setup.py install

It's just being implemented, isn't it

After Chinese, Japanese and Korean characters are compiled, start setup

Success! 20181108 version

At last. Great.

The experience of this time is that we should pay more attention to the source code and find out the version problem. We can't just transfer packets and go deep into the code research principle. Look at GitHub frequently. Most of the content in China is directly copied from foreign open source content
