I am trying to install on KDE Neon and using that and the dev version of py-pdf-parser give me the same error. Though it seems to be working on a Windows boot.

Hey @ragreenburg, thanks for the bug report. Apologies it didn't work first time!

This is actually this wand issue (emcconville/wand#456), however it looks like they've already fixed it so we just need to upgrade our version.

In the meantime I will also enable dependabot on this repository, which should mean we always get up to date packages.

This was fixed in #142, which I have just released as version 0.6.0 (https://pypi.org/project/py-pdf-parser/0.6.0/).

@ragreenburg I will close this issue, but please do let me know if it still doesn't work for some reason!
