yet another pdf texts and tables extractor

This project is inspired by pdfminer, and the pdf parts use, rewrite or redesign a lots of it's codes.

The main purpose of this project is to provide a tool that can naively extract text lines and bordered tables from pdf files, and write them into a html file. In most cases it works well.
