I have tried:
from PyPDF2 import PdfReader
input_pdf = PdfReader(open("pdfFile.pdf", "rb"))
thispage = input_pdf.pages[0]
print(thispage.extract_text())
And I got the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

print(thispage.extract_text())

IndexError: list index out of range
This happens only with a specific pdf file that is NOT encrypted. I could get it text with pdfminer but I read that it is slower so I want to use pypdf2 Do anyone know the solution?
