I'm attempting to read a USDA document "Thrifty Food Plan,2021" that 
seems to be only available as a PDF document [ 
https://fns-prod.azureedge.us/sites/default/files/resource-files/TFP2021.pdf 
].

I have a combination of vision and perception problems which make using 
a PDF viewer impractical. pdf2txt can convert it to HTML. It's still not 
easily usable for me but examining the produced file and reading various 
pdfminer.six web pages suggest possible solution.

[ https://github.com/pdfminer/pdfminer.six/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md [ 
points readers to a chat group at gitter [ 
https://gitter.im/pdfminer-six/Lobby ]. That comes up blank page in 
current SeaMonkey configured for my needs..

I'm looking for a mailing list or USENET forum where my questions would 
be On Topic.

Suggestions?
TIA
