Hi Desmond, for the moment your only option is to use Python 2.7.x, since pdfminer is not the only issue with Python 3. This is why the recommended usage mentions virtualenv. Aside from dependencies it can also run a Python version different than that of the OS. The move to Python 3 will need to happed as Django will drop support sometime in the future (version 2.0 I think). You can keep track and help test Mayan in Python 3 using the "feature/python3" branch ( https://gitlab.com/mayan-edms/mayan-edms/tree/feature/python3).
