pip install pdftotext python without Anaconda

Question

is there a way to pip install pdftotext without Anaconda?

I´ve managed to open pdftotext with commandline. I´ve installed poppler and add it to path, I´ve also installed the code extentions C++ Visual Studio.

but I still get error when I try to use pip install pdftotext. Have someone manage to install it without anaconda? I´m running Windows 10.

why does it complain about pkg-config if it´s in the poppler installation? [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/rCx13.png

docs say current that only tested (works) on conda, have you try this https://github.com/jalan/pdftotext#windows ? — Miguel Trejo, Oct 19 '20 at 19:20
I was afraid of this, I whan to avoid Anaconda, would it be possible to write a script with Popen to actually run the pdftotext from the commanline first and then extract the file from path? — The.B, Oct 19 '20 at 19:29

See this thread, it may help you solve. I have detailed the steps in that thread. It seems you missed the Poppler package which is the main dependency. Since installing the C++ packages is not enough to solve the issue on the Windows platform.
