Input coordinates in pdfminer and get results

Question

I am trying to extract text in pdf miner by inputting co-ordinates, I have searched the internet but could not find any documentation or code relating to that.So far I have found a code that extracts text and outputs its co-ordinates.

LTTextBoxHorizontal
(317.564, 91.32756, 580.93228, 116.24235999999999)
SHOULD ANY OF THE ABOVE DESCRIBED POLICIES BE CANCELLED BEFORE
THE    EXPIRATION   DATE    THEREOF,    NOTICE   WILL   BE   DELIVERED   IN
ACCORDANCE   WITH   THE   POLICY   PROVISIONS.

This is one of the output co-ordinates and text that I have obtained. I also tried pdfquery but I have got a lots of error.

File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\pyquery-1.2.11-py2.7.egg\pyquery\pyquery.py", line 268, in __call__
    result = self._copy(*args, parent=self, **kwargs)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\pyquery-1.2.11-py2.7.egg\pyquery\pyquery.py", line 253, in _copy
    return self.__class__(*args, **kwargs)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\pyquery-1.2.11-py2.7.egg\pyquery\pyquery.py", line 239, in __init__
    xpath = self._css_to_xpath(selector)

cssselect.parser.SelectorSyntaxError: Expected string or ident, got <NUMBER '1' at 14> 

Can someone help me with that ?

That happens when you don't escape pageid value.

Try:

LTPage[pageid=\'1\']
