title: PDF miner - extract font size?
body: <p>I'm curious if it's possible to use pdfminer to extract font size. I think this would be helpful for separating out different sections. I know there's the discussion below, but I'm curious if it's possible to use pdfminer</p>

  <p>the pdfminer documentation says it's possible <a href="http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/python/pdfminer/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/python/pdfminer/</a></p>
  
  <p>but when i type in he following into the command line, i just get a plain text document. I don't see any font information.</p>
