Superfluous whitespace found in object header - PDF file Error

By: Mohamed Rasik | Dec,22 2022 | python

I got error message while running this following code to read the pdf file and extract text from it.
CODE:

import PyPDF2
pdfFileObject = open('pythonhelp.pdf', 'rb')
pdfReader = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(pdfFileObject)
page=pdfReader.getPage(0)
print(page.extract_text())

SOLUTION:
Add parameter "strict=false". this resolves my problem.
pdfReader = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(pdfFileObject, strict=False)
