Extract text from PDF
I'd recommend trying py-pdf-parser [0] - it allows you to fetch data from documents based on text "markers". E.g. you can easily find data, located to the right of "EMAL FROM:" text [0] - https://github.com/jstockwin/py-pdf-parser

Document Parsing - an unsolved problem?
At my previous job we had the same problem which we solved by using Tika. We called it on the server along with other stuff, but there is also a Python binding.

Extract text from PDF
Tika is from Apache so yes its original code base is Java but it has bindings in other languages. Checkout Tika-Python!

Extract text from documents
The Textractor instance is the main entrypoint for extracting text. This method is backed by Apache Tika, a robust text extraction library written in Java. Apache Tika has support for a large number of file formats: PDF, Word, Excel, HTML and others. The Python Tika package automatically installs Tika and starts a local REST API instance used to read extracted data.
