title: parse a pdf using python
body: <p>I have a pdf file. It contains of four columns and all the pages don't have grid lines. They are the marks of students.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to run some analysis on this distribution.(histograms, line graphs etc).</p>
  
  <p>I want to parse this pdf file into a Spreadsheet or an HTML file (which i can then parse very easily).</p>
  
  <p>The link to the pdf is: </p>
  
  <p><a href="http://cse.iitkgp.ac.in/~agupta/pds/CT1-All.pdf" rel="noreferrer">Pdf</a></p>
  
  <p>this is a public document and is available on this domain openly to anyone.</p>
  
  <p>note: I know that this can be done by exporting the file to text from adobe reader and then import it into Libre Calc or Excel. But i want to do this using a python script.</p>
  
  <p>Kindly help me with this issue.
