I passed the file object but still getting parse error with slate3k

I am trying to read the text data of pdf file using "slate3k" . It seems fine to me. But I am getting parse error

I have been using "python3.7" . 

import slate3k

with open("/home/am-it/Desktop/PythonLearning/pdf_practice/invoice-1.pdf","rb")as file:
    doc = slate3k.PDF(file)
    print(doc)

The Output of above code should be text from pdf. but the actual output is 

 "Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/am-it/Desktop/PythonLearning/pdf_practice/invoslate.py", line 4, in <module>
    doc = slate3k.PDF(file)
  File "/home/administrator/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/slate3k/classes.py", line 59, in __init__
    self.doc = PDFDocument()
TypeError: __init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'parser'"

I have passed the proper file object but still getting error. So please enlighten me

Mine works well with single quotes and with print not indented 

import slate3k as slt
with open('pdfPythonTest.pdf','rb') as f:
    extracted_text=slt.PDF(f)
print(extracted_text)

Hope this helps!

Dude, in this part of the code: with open("/home/am-it/Desktop/PythonLearning/pdf_practice/invoice-1.pdf","rb")as file:

you have to write the name of the file plus the extension and not the path. So, try this: with open("invoice-1.pdf","rb")as file:
