initialization not needed anymore

[rejuvyesh]

Was getting this error:

AttributeError: 'PDFDocument' object has no attribute 'initialize'

[kanzure]

Is this in both versions of pdfminer?

Re: pdfminer discrepancies for python2 and python3, see #44

pdfminer3k hasn't been updated since my last patch
march update to pdfminer removed initialize() http://euske.github.io/pdfminer/index.html#changes
to avoid cluttering up the code base with conditionals to manage the two interfaces
we should move to https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pdfminer.six/20140915
see #44

This was for python2 but even pdfminer-six does not require initialize it seems.

[fmap]

currently we use pdfminer3k for extraction w. python3
that port hasn't been maintained for a while, and the interfaces of it and pdfminer have diverged
e.g. initialize() is required -- so applying this patch would mean breaking 3 support if we haven't already
instead of managing two interfaces, we want to move to -six
which means a single interface & support for both runtimes
but that hasn't happened yet

[kanzure]

Are there any other changes that pdfminer-six is going to require?

Is this merge request not needed anymore too?

I was closing my ancient PRs. Not sure, since I am not using it anymore.
