Already tried solution given here (https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-services-api-discussions/modulenotfounderror-no-module-named-...), not working. 

using win 11 64 bit, steps followed:
1) cloned pdfservices-python-sdk-samples repo from github
2) Put my credendials in json file
3) Created enviro variables in user variables (double checked by
print("Client ID:"os.getenv('PDF_SERVICES_CLIENT_ID'))
print("Client Secret:"os.getenv('PDF_SERVICES_CLIENT_SECRET'))
)
4) Created and activated conda environment
5) Installed all dependencies (checked all methods by pip install -r requirements, by pip install pdfservices-sdk, by pip install pdfservices-extract-sdk and by python setup.py install)
5) Checked if api's working fine by requesting Access Token (working)
6) Ran extract_txt_from_pdf.py, getting:

[Running] python -u "c:\Users\hamza\Downloads\CODING\ADOBE\pdfservices-python-sdk-samples\src\extractpdf\extract_txt_from_pdf.py"
Traceback (most recent call last):

    from adobe.pdfservices.operation.auth.credentials import Credentials

I love Python, but have consistently struggled with pip installs. That being said. In a new folder, I did: python -m venv env, source env/bin/activate, pip instlal pdfservices-sdk, and then sample code worked from the Quick Start. I did have to fix indentation (I've got as reported bug on it).
