Subject: [PATCH] BUG: Add whitespace between words for extractText() (#569)

Previously the function .extractText() reads the text in the PDF and returns without any spaces.
In this fix the pdf.py file has been modified to add " " (space) in between two words

Here is an example below:-
Original Sentence : "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"

Previous Output : "Thequickbrownfoxjumpsoverthelazydog"

After the fix : "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
