Usage

Make a folder, place the pdf you are working with inside that folder. Copy the code and place it into the same folder and call it "pdfRead.py".

run this command in the terminal

python pdfRead.py <name of pdf>

once that is complete it will make a few images and then things with the ".m" extension this is the copied text that can be run using matlab. you will have to edit the .m files a little bit but its better than nothing.
