title: Return text string from physical coordinates in a PDF with Python
body: <p>I have been battling with Google and the limited documentation of PDFMiner for the last several hours, and although I feel close, I'm just not getting what I need.  I've worked through <a href="http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/python/pdfminer/" rel="noreferrer">http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/python/pdfminer/</a> and all three of the YouTube videos to gain a better understanding about PDFs and I'm able to output raw text just fine.  </p>
  
  <p>I am working on a script to parse multiple PDF pages.  Unfortunately, for this project I am dealing with poor quality PDF files, and the only reliable constant I see is the physical location of text strings being exactly the same.  Although I've read hints that text strings can be extracted by physical coords, I have yet to see a working example.  </p>
  
  <p>Is there anyone out there who could shed some light on how this is done with PDFMiner?  I am open to other modules if there is an obvious better choice, however I need to stick with Python for the script.</p>
  
  <p>Additionally, I have tried PyPdf to no success as well (other than basic text output).</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
