Use external file with Newspaper3k

Question

I'm performing a number of scraping and summary tasks and have found that newspaper works perfectly for my (most of) my needs. I have a series of pdf files I also need to look at and perform similar tasks with. I can find other apps to open and extract the stories from, hoping to just feed newspaper the text directly and get it to do its thing.... however, so far I have been unable to figure out how to do this. Any suggestions?
